Chapter 26- The Hour of Darkness
Looking for a purpose in life? Give John 17:1 a try.
Whatever we ask in God's name should be so that He can be glorified. Personal wealth? For the glory of God. Career success? For the glory of God. Health? For the glory of God. Protection of loved ones? For the glory of God.
When we go to God with our requests, do we truly ask of Him to that He can be glorified or are there covertly or overtly personal reasons? Perhaps we don't receive not because our requests are out of line with His will, but our motives for asking are personal, not glorification of Him.
If our prayers have any motivation other than God's glorification, are they truly within His will?
