Sometimes I think that a "Quiet Time" or "devotions" means making a prayer list, as if it were a to-do list for You. And I fear that many people treat prayer like that. What I want, dear God, is to use these times to listen, to learn, to let You let me get to know You better. What makes Your heart beat? "Break my heart for what breaks Yours." And help my heart to beat in synchrony with Yours.
Oh, Psalm 1:1-3 captures it. How blessed... am I. Help me to be like that blessed man. Please draw me away from the counsel of the wicked, and direct my steps away from the path of sinners. May I not sit in the seat of scoffers. (What would that mean, anyway?) Make me like that tree, firmly planted and fruitful. Water me with the living waters from You. May my leaf not wither, and may I prosper, not for myself but to bring glory to You and You to the world. In Jesus's name~~Amen.
