Romans 8:26–Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

I’ve learned that the more a person walks with God, the more they are prone to realize how little they know about life and even themselves!  Because humility must precede any form of obedience.  Which is why discipline is tough, but an amazing form of love, because discipline is a means to getting a person to listen and learn…

When listening and learning are not a staple of our lives, it is easier to assume you know more than you actually know.  For example, my children love to give me suggestions of what they think they should do, but the threat of discipline causes them to submit, listen, and hopefully learn…

The goal I have for them, is to dismiss the idea that they know what is right, from the limited perspective of life they have lived.  They fail to realize that their father from experience, a larger viewpoint, desires what is best for them, amidst the many request they have.  Because their request usually comes from a place of selfishness…

Much like us, God must discipline and teach us that we don’t know what we need much of the time, so there must be more listening than requesting.  Usually when we are “fretful” over many things, it is a sign of discontentment and a lack of peace in God (Psalm 37:7).  Fight to listen and learn from God what you really need,

In His Love, LD
