“Wherefore, brethren (and sisters) seek not to counsel the
Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. For behold ye yourselves know that he counseleth
in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works.” (Jacob 4:10)
When we pray we pray for the few people we know upon the
earth right now, but the Lord receives millions of prayers each day from people
all over the earth. He knows each by name and knows if this is the job, or
marriage partner, or path for each. Sometimes we want something so bad we may seek
to counsel the Lord. If we persist he will sometimes let us have the thing we
think we need and reap the consequences later. It is best to use his wisdom,
justice and mercy in our decisions and not tell him how to bless us. Will I
ever learn?
