It reminds me of how we should pray to God. Very often we pray for our needs and focus on what we want in our lives. We always hope that God will grant us what we wish. If then, what difference will it make in comparison to other religion?
Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship, a relationship with God the creator. We are not merely asking for His help, but to seek Him and to build up a relationship with Him. God has His will for everyone of us, to walk in the true path, and His way of righteousness. Even though the path may not be favor to us, it is sometimes God’s will for us to endure the pain and suffering, so that we can grow and become stronger in His faith, and to understand His purpose.
What is God’s will, you may ask. It all started within you, on how close your relationship is with God. Prayer and reading God’s word is the key to improve our relationship with God. By getting closer to Him, we can understand His will and be ready to walk in His way.
God made us to have the freedom to choose. Do we choose to live an obedient, righteous and faithful life? Or do we choose to live by our own way?

Many a times, we ask God for things, expecting Him to do what we want. When the fact is we are His servant, and we should be doing His will. A very good reminder for me too. Thanks.
