But as for me, LORD, my prayer to you is for a time of favor. In your abundant, faithful love, God, answer me with your sure salvation. Psalm 69:13
In Psalm 69, we see some key characteristics of God. He has abundant and faithful love as well as sure salvation. These should provide us peace as we approach the throne and seek a time of favor with God. It is critical that we remember that often when we go to God in prayer, we are asking for resolutions to our problems and that many times we approach him with a resolution in mind. We must always remember that we need to seek God’s favor in prayer as well as his will. Whether or not we like it his will and our will does not always look like the same answer. It is imperative that we remember to seek his favor and to seek his response, not a response that we have pre-planned and identified as correct.
Prayer for Day 6: Pray today that we will focus on seeking God’s favor and his attention to our prayer requests. Pray that we will have better discernment in the outcome realizing that our desired outcomes may not benefit the kingdom of God and may therefore not be the answer we were hoping for.
