The Perfect Prayer – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1844 of our trek, and it’s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today’s trek as we increase wisdom and create a living legacy. Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!" If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget. Today’s quote is from Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and it is, “A single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer.”

The Perfect Prayer

God certainly wants to hear all of our prayers and petitions that we offer up to His holy throne, so we should never hesitate to come boldly into His presence with all of our requests and needs. One type of prayer we often overlook is the prayer of grateful praise for His untold and eternal blessings and grace in our lives. You could say that the outpouring of our hearts in recognition of God is the most perfect type of prayer. Even when we suffer hardships and trials, there is much to praise God for during difficult times. God will certainly give us the strength that we need to endure anything that comes into our path of life. During those tribulations, we can be purified and drawn closer to Him as His imager showing forth God through our lives. As you approach God in prayer, first bring your praise and adoration before reviewing a list of demands and petitions. You may also consider just praises to His name during some prayer times. He already knows all of our needs before we ask. Listen to this song of praise from King David. Psalm 63:1-8 O God, you are my God; I earnestly search for you. My soul thirsts for you; my whole body longs for you in this parched and weary land where there is no water.  I have seen you in your sanctuary and gazed upon your power and glory. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how I praise you! I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer. You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy. I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. Because you are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your strong right hand holds me securely.
