What pleases him

"God has raised from death our Lord Jesus, who is the Great Shepherd of the sheep as the result of his blood, by which the eternal covenant is sealed. May the God of peace provide you with every good thing you need in order to do his will, and may he, through Jesus Christ, do in us what pleases him.

And to Christ be the glory for ever and ever! Amen."

(Hebrews 13.20-21 GNB)

The verse did not say what pleases me; it says what pleases him. "May God ... do in us what pleases him."

As the saying goes, "Be careful what you ask for".

"For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."

(Isaiah 55.9 NLT)

But I am going to ask anyway.

Dear God,
please help me do your will
and do in me what pleases you
through Jesus Christ
