awesome quote from an awesome author....

“My motivation for B!ble study and prayer could still be all about me.
Fix my circumstances L0rd.
Use me powerfully, L0rd.
Direct me in obvious ways today, L0rd.
Make me successful, L0rd.

Listen carefully: Not one of those prayers is wrong. But if my motivation for my relationship with G0d is what He can do for me, a lust for His power may grow but a yearning for His presence will not.

G0d deeply desires to hear our petitions, but His greatest joy is to hear them flow from the mouths of those who want Him more than anything else He can give.”---Breaking Free, Beth Moore.

O Father, that you would teach me to know you and to love you even more. That I would be more concerned with knowing and loving you than anything regarding my circumstances.
