Word for the day “Leadership alignment”

Good morning Leaders,

I’ve discovered that praying isn’t about convincing God to do your will, but more about embracing His will for your life. Ultimately, one of the essentials to effective prayer is learning and understanding God’s purpose for your life. This is an especially important truth to remember: Once you understand your purpose, it becomes the “Cornerstone,” and foundation for your prayer life.

God’s will be the heart of your prayers. Prayer time calls forth what God has already purposed and planned for your life. In him we live, move, and have our being (Acts 17:28). A great part of our life is about discovering our purpose and then sharing that gift and purpose with others.

I know that God works out everything in alignment with his purpose and will. In this way, your purpose in God is the foundation material for your prayers regarding the provision, power, healing, protection, endurance, patience, authority, faith, praise, thanksgiving, confidence, assurance, boldness, healing, and peace, for the supply of all your needs (Philippians 4:19). Everything you need is available to fulfill your purpose. All that God is, and all that He has, may be received through prayer. The measure of our assignment in God’s grace is determined by the measure of our prayers and alignment with God and the things of God and the people of God.

 Prayer: Gracious God, I do not want to accomplish my will,

but Your will. Help me to conform my prayers

and my life to the purpose of Your will.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

 Special thanks!
