—Psalm 20
by: Denovia Mckenzie.
“May he grant your heart’s desires and make all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God” (v.4-5, NLT). Selflessness is shown when we can pray a prayer like this for others. We should never rejoice at the failings of others, but should instead want to see them successful in their plans, according to God’s will. Through this Psalm, may we see that we should pray in this manner for others. May we also see that we should be happy for others when God blesses them instead of being envious, even when He blesses them with the things we, too, desire.
