Humbled Before God (James 4:1-10)

We can be very frustrated at times because it seems like the Lord is not hearing our prayers.  We might be asking for something that we desire, but the Lord might not be giving us what we want.  Why would the Lord withhold good things from his children?  How can we find contentment in times of want?  How can we have an attitude before the Lord that is pleasing and honorable to Him?

Wanting God’s Will (Ephesians 6:5-9; LD 49)

This is one of the requests of the Lord’s prayer that we can rattle off without really considering the implications of it.  What does it mean that we really want the Lord’s will?  This is basically saying that we no longer desire to live by our will, but by the will of our father in heaven.  So, how do we live by the will of the Lord seeking to honor the Lord?
