I was reading an article in USA Today about Billy Graham. In a sidebar, his wife is asked the question, "How can we pray for you." She responds, "That God's will be done, and God be glorified."
I love that simplicity. So often, I've felt prayers as attempts to try to force God's hand or to try to bend his will to fit our own. Life would be perfect if he'd just listen to us, right? So often, I've felt that prayers are for us and not for God. Do we respect God when we ask for what we think we need, when He is the one who says He knows our true needs? Not at all. Just my thoughts.
