At the beginnings of a year we often make and review plans
for what we will do and where we wish to go in a year or a lifetime. This can
be a worthy practice. And it will inform our prayers. But any plans will not do
for a prayer warrior or a praying people. We need the right vision, the right
purpose, the right plans. In Jeremiah 29:11 God says, “I know the plans I
have for you.” It is crucial that we pray for
God’s plans. Otherwise our prayers and plans will be misguided.
The first step to praying for God’s plans is listening to
Him. Isaiah 55:3 reads, “Give
ear and come to me. Hear me that your soul may live.” To hear God we must spend time in prayer and in His word.
Sometimes we need to draw near to Him in silence. We need to meditate on His
word and on His will as He has already revealed it. Are you
listening to God?
