Prayer. Oh, how important it is to pray for others. Not just to pray for our loved ones and our friends, but we need to pray for our enemies as well. The second greatest commandment is to love your neighbors and yourself. We are called to love our enemies.
Let me tell you something about prayer. God will always answer you in 3 different ways: Yes, No, and Not right now. In the midst of you continually asking and Him continually answering you, He is also continually changing and working in you. So never stop praying for something or someone. If you are praying for someone and you see no changes in them, just know that God is working on and making a change in you.
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." I remember a long time ago my step mom and I had a conversation about this verse. I believe that by delighting yourself in the Lord, that means you come to Him everyday with everything. Pray to Him about everything. Delight yourself in Him. When you do that He will give you the desires of your heart. In the sense that He is going to change your desires and give you new desires. Desires that line up with His plan. Isn't that great! If we delight ourselves in God, then we will desire all of the things that He has planned for us. Where you live, your job, your car, your marriage... Delight yourself in the Lord with all of these things.
Now think about it if we don't delight ourselves in Him. We will be agitated and unhappy in our lifes situation. It is so evident that we need God. If we consider Him in every decision, we will desire His outcome for us.
