Many times we’ll need to rely on prayer to get the answer and direction from the Holy Spirit, but asking “why?” will help to remind us that God is the one we’re doing things for, not ourselves. Asking “why?” will help us align our priorities with God’s and get things done for Him and His glory.

Or we could talk about it sooner and then I can forget everything and ask you again in February.
