"Your Work"
 

Habakkuk 3:2b "O LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years."

After Habakkuk writes many verses focused on questions and complaints, he turns his heart to prayer. I received in my heart today some insight about my prayers. I do my fair share of complaining and questioning, but l need to be more forthright about my petition. In trying not to be self-focused in my prayers, l can end up doing exactly that while trying too hard not to do that. So Habakkuk models here for me how to pray. Pray about His work, not mine, His church, not mine, His ministry not mine. After all, it is His, not mine. Everything is His, not mine. I can drop a lot of me and my and mine out of my prayers. I will feel less self-focused, be more accurate and actually be more Him-focused. So LORD, revive Your work in the midst of the years.

Praise Your Name,
Pastor Fred
