How often you have met with a friend and one of you sets the agenda for your conversation? Usually the one who starts the conversation sets the agenda. When God met with Abraham it was God who set the agenda not Abraham. God said, "Shall we hide from Abraham what we are about to do?"
When we come to God in prayer who sets the agenda? Usually we have a list of requests that we run through quickly and then we are gone. The agenda for our prayer time is our agenda not God's. How do we go about changing this? First, we need to listen to God. We do this through Scripture reading and meditation. Secondly, we need to know that it is not so much about our needs than about His glory. Prayer is not about us but about Him.
