THE PRAYERS OF MOSES - MOSES' STORY

Moses prayed to God for the three important areas:

1. To know God and His way
2. To receive God's favour
3. To experience God's presence

Let us pray like Moses to receive the same blessings.

Exodus 33:13-14 "If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

If you could ask God for anything in this world, what would you ask? Would you ask God for more money, fame or material things? Moses did not ask God for any of these things. Moses' made three personal prayers request to God:

1. To know God and His way
2. To receive God's favour
3. To experience God's presence

We can see that Moses eagerly desired more of God in his life. Moses humbly acknowledged his dependency upon God. He was unable to lead the Israelites without the divine intervention of God. Moses’ prayer request was God-focused and not self-focused. Moses' prayer was directed towards God and fulfilling God's purpose. Let our prayer request go beyond our personal needs and toward knowing and possessing more of God and His purpose.

Let us put God in the centre of our lives so we can glorify Him on earth.
