Numbers 6:24-26
And while it is not selfish to ask God to bless us, I believe we must have the right attitude of mind and heart. For although God says, “Knock and it will be opened unto you” or “You have not because you ask not” , I firmly believe we must ask in a humble and contrite spirit— not asking for things like riches— but rather, His will in our lives.
Seek God first and His kingdom. Seek His heart, seek His mind, and love Him with your heart, mind, and soul— then He will give you the desires of your heart. (And it’s been my experience that the desires of my heart become His desires for my life when I keep Him first.) When we lay up our treasures in Heaven, there will our hearts be also (Matthew 6:19-21).
Creator, Savior, Lord and King
my heart and my soul
come humble and low
to the foot of Your throne.
Bless me dear Lord I pray
in Your goodness and grace
mercies new every day
leading me in Your will and way.
Shine down Your light
let not my foot slip left or right
guide me in Your wisdom
Teach me to pray as I ought
bless each meditative thought
Lord, hear my prayer to You
restore, repair, renew.
And at the close of each day
may I rest in Your sweet peace
the blessing of Your generous hand
in gratitude I pray this, Amen.
