What happens when you get specific about your prayer request? Well, I can tell you what happened for me yesterday morning.

On my way to work, I was asking God to help me to restructure my life. Without getting into great detail, I think we can all relate to getting lax, sloppy, and lazy in our spiritual life and schedules. I went on to tell Him what He already knew about my life, and how I wanted it to have more purpose.

This is what I read on my "Verse-A-Day" Calendar when I got to work:

"The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live."

OMG! Could it get any clearer than that?! This verse was from 1 Timothy 2:1-3 in the 'MSG'. I don't even know what version that is, but I'm sure I have read that verse at least 100 times in my years as a Christian.

Today it became clear to me.
