“Father, I’m all about Your glory”

Prayer is not really prayer if we are not about His glory. Starting last week, I have employed a new style of praying. Well, its not really ‘new’ but I just focused on God’s glory alone. I’ve always prayed for His glory. But this time, I took my mind totally off myself, the world’s needs and even the needs of the church, and just prayed about His glory alone as He works through us and His bride. I prayed about everything in accordance to His perspective.

It was a totally different experience. I know experience does not weigh much in the world of theology, but we can’t deny that praying is still a spiritual experience with the Lord. I just kept praying about the Lord – that His glory would sparkle amongst us, that His attributes would be revealed to mankind, that the gravity of His love would show His awesome nature, that His power will be manifested, that no one would misuse His Name or misrepresent Him, and so on! Its just all about Him. And you know what? I didn’t feel the weight of the world on my shoulders anymore. I’ve been going through some really tough times – issues with family, sanctification, relationships, friends, etc., but they didn’t seem to matter anymore. I can rest and be satisfied in Him alone.

I don’t know if I’m making sense but I just feel like I just want to spend my life worshiping Him. I don’t care much about what happens to me anymore. Whenever I focus on God alone, all my worries disappear. Knowing that Someone as magnificent as the Lord God truly exists just makes me want to smile and bend my knee in awe and worship.

He is a great God and though I’m not even close to worshiping Him as He ought to be worshiped, it gives me great comfort and joy to know that HE is my God. To have a God like the Lord to worship, adore, love and serve IS the greatest blessing in my life!

“Father, I thank you for quickening my heart! Now I can love, serve and adore you without despising Your Name!”
