Now I want you to be honest with yourself, about a week ago I wrote a devotion about what you would ask God for if given the chance like Solomon.  Well, in that devotional I asked that you would pray for that desire, whether if it was for wisdom like Solomon, or to be more thankful, or if it was to be a better servant, etc.  Whatever your desire was, did you pray for it everyday if you took the challenge?  Some may say yes, and I guarantee that others will say no.  Normally, I do my best to do these challenges with you, but I’ll admit this time there were a couple days of the last week that I forgot to pray about one of the main desires I had.  My two main desires were that God would help me to serve Him more faithfully and that He would help me to become more thankful.  Now, I have made it a habit to pray for God to help me serve Him, but there were at least two nights that I forgot to ask God to help me be more thankful.  This is one of my greatest desires above all else.  I do not want to take anything for granted, I want to thank God for all that I am given, whether it be time with family or material things.  I want to thank God even in the hard times.  I want to thank Him and praise Him in all things, even if there is pain that I face.  I want to look at the bright side and praise God for it, I want to live my life in such a way that others will see Christ in me.  I don’t want to waste any time complaining, I want to thank God for the time I’m given and use it for His glory.  His Kingdom is what lasts forever, not my lifetime on earth, and so I want to do what I can to further His Kingdom.  I am going to continue to ask God to help me serve Him better, as well as to be more thankful both now for what I’ve already been given, and for in the future.  I want to ask you to keep praying for your desire as well, and I’ll pray for you and your desire as well.  This time around I’ll try to make sure that I don’t forget as well.  “And this is the convidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.”  1 John 5:14.  God Bless!
