What do You want to do with me now? Actually, You want me to care about others, in prayer, and not only about my own self doing what You desire.

"for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)

So, at each moment You want to work in our wills to get us to choose and do whatever at any moment You please. So . . . yes . . . do this in us, more and more >

Change our character so we are submissive to You like Jesus in us is submissive to You and is sharing with us how He is submissive and so pleasing to You.

So . . . if at any moment we really do what You please to have us do . . . this is a miracle, that it is really You guiding us.

You, God, are all-loving and You desire for us to care about any and all others as ourselves; so yes You do want me to seek You to not only bless me to truly be Your way and do what You want; but You want me to care about any and all others being blessed to share so personally with You.

So, please do have us pray in all-loving love, how You in us work for us to so pray.

Colossians 3:15 says >

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)

So, yes God does want to personally guide every one of us in His own peace. And this is included in the miracle of actually doing what God has us doing. This peace, I understand, is the perfect harmony of God Himself working in His power almighty of His all-loving love.

So, in this peace we are personally ruled by God to do what at each moment He wants to do with us.

Plus, God is sharing His own harmony with us, in us, while we obey how He rules us in this peace. And this is "in one body"; so God in His peace is ruling us all as one, coordinating us all according to His own level of knowledge and intelligence and ability. So, obeying God in His peace is His miracle all through the body of Jesus.

So, this is not only a nice feeling, to say the least! :)

And in this peace with almighty power we share with God in His own almighty immunity against any and all evil and cruel thinking and feelings and emotions and bad ways of reacting and relating with people. So, therefore, do not trust and do not obey the cruelty and lying of depression and unforgiveness and fear and worry and hurry and frustration and boredom and loneliness and lusts that would dominate us to seek pleasure. These are not God's love working in our character and relating; so do not trust and obey them, at all.

But, yes, trust and obey Jesus.

If we pray in all-loving love, we are in God's almighty peace to keep us safe from anti-love things >

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

So, while we obey how God wants us to pray . . . we are guaranteed how His peace will guard us . . . in our hearts and in our minds.

And this is commanded in God's word; so this is a miracle that God guarantees us while we obey how He has us doing this.

So, we trust You, O God our Father, to succeed in doing all You mean by this, in us all who have trusted in Your Son Jesus. The glory is to You.
