desire to please God

Posted On: Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 8:14 am

“May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.”

1 Kings 8:58

Encouragement for Today
Life with God is about having a heartfelt desire to please him. If you don’t have this desire at the moment—or at any moment—you can pray for it. This might also apply to particular areas we struggle with, such as forgiving someone. We know we should, yet we don’t really want to. Pray is first for the desire to obey, to forgive, or to serve. Whatever it is the Holy Spirit brings to mind, if we can’t immediately obey, we can ask God to change our hearts first.
