Delight in God's Will

I delight to do your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.
Psalm 40:8
If we want to hear God’s voice and obey His will, I believe our prayer every morning should be something like this:

“God, I want to walk in Your perfect will all my life. I don’t want Your permissive will; I don’t want to do anything without Your approval and blessing. If I try to do something that’s not Your best for me, please let me feel hesitation in my heart, a check in my spirit, to keep me on the path of Your plan.
Help me to submit myself to You.
Help me not to be stiff-necked.
Help me not to be stubborn.
Help me not to be hard-hearted.
God, I want Your will to operate fully in my life. I’ve experienced the fruit of my own will enough to know that if I get my way, and it’s not what You want, it’s going to turn out badly. I’m willing to obey You, but please help me to hear clearly what You are telling me to do. Amen.”

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU TODAY: Several times each day, whisper to God, “ Your will be done.”
