So this is my Prayer

I feel like here lately I have been having to defend my theology more and more. It really is strange because basically my theology is this:

God is sovereign over all created things and can handle His creation anyway He sees fit.

I’m studying Scripture, praying daily for God to allow me to know Him better. I truly with all my desire want to understand correctly God as I believe this helps the creature give due praise to his Creator.

So this is my prayer:

I pray that the Lord will give me a correct understanding of Him, not what I think about Him or want Him to be, but a true picture of His Being from Scripture. I pray that my sinful flesh does not get in the way from a correct understanding of Him and that He gives me grace, even though I know I’m the least of men and by no means come close to deserving it. I pray as my understanding increases in Him, I decrease in worth in and of myself. Father as I humbly come and ask for true understanding I realize that without reverent fear of You this will never be possible. I come not of my own power but I come in Christ who lives. Please cause me to see clearly in this fallen, foggy world. In Christ I pray…
