God we know your ways are not our ways, your thoughts are not our thoughts, and we want your ways, and your thoughts to dominate our lives and may it be so today we pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.God’s thoughts toward us – what the Bible says Reorient our thinking, and our acting our ways, in what is going to matter forever. If we’re not careful, oh God, we just confess we’ll live for what matters now, but we’ll forget what’s going to matter in eternity, God help us. God help us not to do that.īring our thoughts in line with your thoughts. We get so busy doing all kinds of things, all kinds of details, that we lose sight of that which is most important. We lose sight of what really matters in the world. That we have temptations on a daily basis just to focus on what’s right in front of us that we lose sight of people around us, that you called us to love, care for, share the Gospel with. And not just what’s going to matter today. Help us to live and think according to what’s going to matter for all of eternity. We pray that you would reorient our thinking and our acting around your Word and your will. When we make plans, God we pray that you help us to plan things according to your will and your ways. Prayer for Us to Bring Our Thoughts in Accordance to God’s Will When we look at things around us in our lives, in our families, in our work places, in the communities where we live, help us to see things in your perspective. Help us to think in ways that are pure and holy. We need to pray, in a sense like every day, in some way, to pray, God transform our thoughts to be like your thoughts in accordance with Isaiah 55:8–9. Isaiah 55:8–9 Reminds Us to Pray Every Day for God to Transform Our Thoughts The challenge is, if we’re not careful, we can just get caught up going through the daily motions according to the thoughts and ways of this world and we can miss out on the way God designs for us to think and live. To live differently, to live in a radically different way than we would live if we keep our focus on this world. When God calls us to think differently, to have a totally different perspective on our lives than we are prone to have. And doing what everybody else in the world is doing. Because if we’re not careful, we can just get caught up in every day, living like the world thinks we should live. To transform our ways according to His ways. We need to ask him every day to reorient our thoughts according to His thoughts. These Verses Remind Us to Reorient Our Thoughts to God’s Thoughts We are prone to think differently than God thinks, so we need to ask Him to reorient our ways to His will. There’s a way we’re prone to live that is so different from the way God wants us to live. So, when we hear God say in Isaiah 55 8–9, “My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” we need to be reminded that there’s a way that we are prone to think that is so different from the way God is prone to think. And if we’re not careful, we are prone to miss this on a daily basis. This is one of those good reminders in the book of Isaiah that God is so different from us. For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” “for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways, declares the Lord.
