Lately I’ve begun to spend some time praying daily for three specific things. These things have not been completely evident in my life and the obvious solution is to ask for them. What am I asking for?
Wisdom.
Every day that passes in my life I realize that I know less and less than I thought I did the day before. I’m praying daily that God would grant me wisdom in how to lead my family, how to make decisions and have vision on the job, and how to be a wise music and worship ministry leader.
Compassion.
I’ve realized lately that there’s something that Jesus was full of that I am lacking, and that’s compassion. I’m praying first of all for great compassion for those who don’t know our great God, then compassion for those I work with both professionally and in ministry.
Empathy.
Another thing I’m seeing in my life lately is that I often jump to conclusions about things people will say without trying to understand their situation. I’m praying that God would grant me the ability to take a breather and think about what someone might be going through everytime I listen to them or seek to lead them.
What specific things are you praying for?
