Finding out the truth

If we are not looking for something we surely won't find it. Being okay with being still is a wonderful trait. It shows a steadied patience, a willingness to trust, obey and believe. Something we are all commanded to do after making our desires known. No matter how strong our inner will we ought to pursue HIS will be done. But how many of us can really do this? Can we turn over the desires of our heart to an unanswered prayer? The only safeguard way to do this with perfect peace is if the desires of our heart are perfectly aligned with God's desire for our life. Then and only then do we get our every prayer answered. So what should be our prayer?

I think our prayer should always be a request for the truth in everything. That's right, we pray for the truth. And then we wait for the truth to be revealed. No matter what we are seeking from God it can't come from him back to us unless it is the truth for our lives, so why not frame our prayers in that way? Lord please reveal to me my truth in this matter. The truth will always prevail. Whether we are seeking clarity, comfort, peace, patience, forgiveness, compassion, relief, healing, security, or something else, each comes with it, the truth behind it. This is the only way our Savior operates, in truth. Can't find the right words, just ask for your truth. God will show you, for he knows no other way.

Psalm 145:18 (ESV)
The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth
