My Prayer For Years
1 Kings chapter 3 captures a conversation between God and Solomon ...
That night, there in Gibeon, God appeared to Solomon in a dream: God said, “What can I give you? Ask.” ... Here I am, set down in the middle of the people you’ve chosen, a great people—far too many to ever count. “Here’s what I want: Give me a God-listening heart so I can lead your people well, discerning the difference between good and evil. For who on their own is capable of leading your glorious people?” God, the Master, was delighted with Solomon’s response. And God said to him, “Because you have asked for this and haven’t grasped after a long life, or riches, or the doom of your enemies, but you have asked for the ability to lead and govern well, I’ll give you what you’ve asked for—I’m giving you a wise and mature heart. (MSG)
This has been my prayer for years in anticipation, expectation, and preparation for where God is
