Whose Agenda?
“Your kingdom come. Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.”
MATTHEW 6:10
The chief objective of prayer is to bring us into cooperation with the
Father so that we are harmonious with Him – with respect to our love
relationship as well as our working relationship. Much time and effort
in prayer is spent trying to get God involved with OUR agenda, with OUR
plans, with OUR goals, with OUR cause, with OUR needs, real or imagined.
But after all, who is the Master? Who is the servant? Whose will are we
seeking anyway: ours, or His?
If our agenda is not harmonious with His then our agenda has to go. Most
of our prayers are simply too small, too narrow-minded, and too
constricted. We do not see anything beyond our present surroundings. We
have not seen the big picture. We do not have a heavenly perspective. So
to begin with we must empty ourselves of all preconceived ideas and
seek the Lord’s Will and the Lord’s Kingdom when we pray, for this truly
honors the Father.
