For years I have wondered if King Hezekiah would have prayed for God to spare his life if he knew that in that extra 15 years he was given, he would father one of the most evil kings in the nation's history. Sometimes we pray so selfishly. We are so short sighted, caring only about ourselves and the time we live in. This week, I want to practice praying with the end in mind.
I pray that God would cancel any of my requests where he has something better in mind, something eternal. I read Psalm 106:14-15 that said, "In the wilderness, their desires ran wild, testing God's patience in that dry land. so he gave them what they asked for, but he sent a plague along with it."
I guess the lesson there is to be careful what you ask for...
