Prayer – seeking out the mind of God

Pardon me for my extensive blogging.

Have been thinking a lot as i have much more time alone in office, and different things just trigger my thoughts.

a few things recently caught my attention. i find that, the older i get, the more i realise, that i dun really know it all. and many times, i find myself asking God, God what are you doing in the midst of all these?  i will often ask God, God what are you doing in this situation or trying to establish in a particular situation? there are many things that my human understanding and intellect cannot perceive and understand. the more i grow, the more i am humbled by his infinite wisdom, and by how small i am.

And thus, i have just been meditating on this thought, that prayer is seeking out the mind of God. very often, we pray with our own agendas, but really, prayer is simply about seeking out the mind of God. i want to seek His face, seek His mind, learn and understand what He has in store and what He is doing.

i don’t want to push through my agenda; i want to seek out His mind n will. I don’t know everything, because i am merely man, and He is God. Honestly, what I can know is what God has and will reveal to me.

I do not want to come to a point, that i think i am so intelligent and smart, that i can even understand all about God, or understand Him in His infinite wisdom. that is really foolishness, isn’t it?

Isa 45:9-12

⁹ "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker,
       to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on   the ground.
       Does the clay say to the potter,
       'What are you making?'
       Does your work say,
       'He has no hands'?

¹⁰ Woe to him who says to his father,
       'What have you begotten?'
       or to his mother,
       'What have you brought to birth?'

¹¹ "This is what the LORD says—
       the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
       Concerning things to come,
       do you question me about my children,
       or give me orders about the work of my hands?

¹² It is I who made the earth
       and created mankind upon it.
       My own hands stretched out the heavens;
       I marshaled their starry hosts.
