Am I seeking the Lord as I should? Am I asking Jesus for the things that are right in the eyes of God? This morning, I am asking myself these questions among others and seeking to place Him foremost in my thought-life as I pray and walk this world. How can we pray right if we don’t think right, and how can we think right if we don’t focus right on God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit?
How does Jesus pray for us? Does He pray for us in the same way that He did for Simon Peter; that although he would be sifted, that his faith would not fail? I dare say that this is exactly how he prays for us. But, if given our druthers, how would we prefer that He would pray for us? Would we want to be sifted and have our faith strengthened, or for Jesus to pray that we not be sifted at all?
