The Motives of Our Prayers

Very early Monday morning I was driving toward Philadelphia. Christian radio was playing softly. Lauren Daigle’s song titled “First” came on. The opening words defined my own heart’s cry:

“Before I Bring My Need, I Will Bring My Heart!”

When we pray, our motives matter so very much. Whenever I pray, I desperately want my desires to be purely for The Giver Himself — first and foremost — not for the gifts He gives.

How important are right motives when we seek God. These words from The New Testament book of James tell us:

Lord, move us beyond selfish supplication when

we seek Your face. Help us to bless You before we ask for Your blessings. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Here the link to the song:

Presence Matters Most!

That is... Presence. Unity. Souls. Love.
