God’s answers are wiser than our prayers.
–Unknown

I am so thankful that God doesn’t always answer our prayers the way we ask them. His answers are wiser than our desires, our wishes, our goals, AND even our prayers!

A quote regarding God’s will for your life:
The Spirit leads within the limits which the Word sets, not beyond them. “He guides me in paths of righteousness” (Psalm 23:3) — but not anywhere else.
–J. I. Packer

Have you ever wondered what God’s will was for you? Well it certainly will only be found within the limits of the Scriptures. If you feel God is leading you somewhere, but that “where” is outside of the bounds of Scripture, you can be assured it is not God who is doing the leading!

But that means that the only way you can actually know if something is in His will is by knowing His Word. Are you making it a point to grow in your knowledge of the Bible?

Each day we ought to renew our resolutions and arouse ourselves to fervor as though it were the first day of our religious life. We ought to say: “Help me, O Lord God, in my good resolution and in Your holy service. Grant me now, this very day, to begin perfectly, for thus far I have done nothing.
–Thomas à Kempis

I thought this would be a good quote to begin this year with.
And as today begins a New Year, I believe this is a great day for us to begin praying this prayer!
