This morning I am reading in Psalm 86. The title of the passage in my ESV Bible is “Great is Your Steadfast Love”. What I get is to continue to pray for God’s Steadfast Love.
In all of Chapter 86 of Psalm, “steadfast love” is there 3 times over the 17 verses. It is not something that is to be prayed once and we are good. David prays continually for God’s Steadfast Love. I should be doing the same.
If you remember, in the example prayer Jesus gives to us, The Lord’s Prayer, we are to first acknowledge the greatness of God. Then we are to ask for His will to be done, and then we thank Him for His provision. All of these in the beginning are the prayer for God’s Steadfast Love. We are to be fully vested in the love that is from God.
I have to remember, if you don’t ask, you will not receive. I have to be continually asking for God’s Steadfast Love in my life to be sure that I am going in the direction that God would have me go. I am to pray for and look to receive His love at every turn.
When you pray, what is it you are praying for? Are you continually praying for God’s Steadfast Love to be poured our on you? What if you did?
