Praying for God's Glory

When praying, it is essential to understand that God acts for his own namesake, his glory. Psalm 79.9 emphasizes seeking help from God for the glory of his name. This mindset is crucial to align our prayers with God's overarching purpose of displaying his beauty and worth. Recognizing that God's actions are always for his glory helps us shape our prayers accordingly, reflecting a deeper understanding of God's righteous nature.
