Ever notice how selfish our prayers are at times? Ever realize how often we totally miss the point in prayer? Without denying the fact that we need to pray for wisdom and guidance, Derek W. H. Thomas helps us think more clearly and accurately about the content of our prayers in his book How The Gospel Brings Us All The Way Home:
"Instead of a preoccupation with issues of guidance (the preoccupation of our era), we should be concerned to ask the Lord: 'How can I live in a way that reflects the holiness of my Savior?', 'Will You show me how to deny myself?', 'Which sin, or part of a sin, am I to kill today?' "
