What prayer is pleasing to the Lord?

 

 

King Solomon asked God for what pleases the Lord (1 Kgs. 3:10).

He sought wisdom and knowledge from God to judge and govern the people of God,

which God had entrusted to him (2 Chron. 1:11).

When he did this, God not only gave Solomon the wisdom and knowledge he asked for

but also wealth, riches, and honor that he did not ask for (v. 12; 1 Kgs. 3:13).

 

The prayer that pleases the Lord is to seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness.

Then all these things will be given to us as well (Mt. 6:33).

 

The prayer that pleases the Lord is the prayer of Jesus:

"... Yet not as I will, but as you will" (26:39).
