Daily Prayer - Wise us up

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.
 
So often I think God sees me as parent sees a three-year-old child who wants a cookie just before meal time.  The child cannot understand the parent's reasoning for refusing the request.  And frequently I question boundaries God has placed in my life.  I want what I want and I want it now.
 
Ever feel that way?
 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce
 
 
 
Father, we are grateful for the boundaries You place throughout Scripture that are solely for our protection.
 
Often it’s to protect us from the devil who lurks waiting for the opportunity to pounce and other times it’s to protect us from our own vain vices that can be equally destructive.
 
Wise us up so that we don’t resent or rebel against that which is for our own eternal good.
 
Rather help us to see that You are an all-wise, all-knowing God who looks after us and sets boundaries so that we don’t lose sight of our spiritual heritage here on earth which will pave the way for our eternal inheritance in heaven.
 
In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
