Teach me how to pray

I was in Aberdeen for the whole day today and on the drive home I was listening to some Jason Upton and have a wonderful time with the Lord. This song really spoke to me, challenged me, and encouraged me so I thought I'd make it my blog post for today.

Teach Me How To Pray by Jason Upton
Mommy, I hear the baby crying
Help me, are the words she’s implying
Where’ve I been while my world has been dying
Lord, teach me how to pray

Not my will or my plans or the way I want it
I’m so tired of my hands in the way
So reveal to these eyes the true heart of my Father, today
Lord teach me how to pray

Daddy, I can hear Jesus crying
Help me, are the words He’s implying
Am I sleeping while my Savior is dying
Lord, teach me how to pray

Not my will or my plans or the way I want it
I’m so tired of my hands in the way
So reveal to these eyes the true heart of my Father, today
Lord teach me how to pray

So I’ll keep asking, for Your kingdom to come
Looking, for Your will to be done
For every nation, tribe, and every tongue
Lord, teach me how to pray

Soooo good! How much do I do what I want? My will, my plans, the way I want things? I'm sooo tired of these hands in the way! The Lord's will be done in me, in my life, in every single aspect of my life. I want to be fully dead to SELF and let His will alone be done in me.
