Think about this for a moment, instead of praying, “Lord, help me to live my life for You.” Rather pray, “Lord Jesus, live out Your life through me.” Can you see the stark difference in the two prayers? One is full of “me” with all its self-centeredness, self-promotion, and selfishness…while the other is a humble request for God’s Divine Will in my life. One is full of prideful self-will, while the other is a submissive desire to life in the middle of God’s plan & purpose. Throughout the New Testament the Apostle Paul admonished us to live a godly life worthy of the Lord’s calling… (Ephesians 4:1, Colossians 1:10, II Timothy 3:12) and that calling is His alone & not what I think it should be.
