Psalm 109:21  
But deal well with me, O Sovereign Lord, for the sake of your own reputation! 
Rescue me because you are so faithful and good. (NLT)

Here’s a good way to pray. Ask God to hear and answer your prayer based on his faithfulness and goodness, and not yours. 

I’m pretty sure I can’t be good enough long enough to deserve for God to hear and answer my prayers the way I want. My motives are often good, but not great. God’s motives are entirely different. They are always good, and always great. They always align with his faithful love and essential goodness. What he wants for me is better than anything I will ever desire for myself. 

Wise prayer, then, is based on his faithfulness and goodness, and not mine or yours. 

When God deals well with us, it helps people see how good and kind he is. 

When God rescues us, it helps people see how merciful and gracious he is. 

It gets better.

Our Sovereign God has a well-earned reputation for taking fickle and foolish people like us and using us in such a manner that people see us not as paragons of virtue, but as trophies of God’s grace. (See Ephesians 2:10.)

I will pray based on God’s faithful love and goodness.

O Sovereign God, only a faithful and good Father like you could love such a mess like me and turn my problems and pains into something beautiful, something good. You are the glorious and loving rescuer of broken people. You are the merciful and kind renovator of messed-up lives. You provide the salvation we are lost without, the provision we are destitute without, the hope we are helpless without. LORD, you are good, and your mercy endures forever. Hallelujah and amen!

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
