Exchange of Wishes


While studying "prayer and fasting" I came across this definition/ explanation in the Bible Hub website interlinear concordance. This was a striking thought to me that prayer to God is an exchange of wishes. It's not just a time for me to read off my wish list to God. It's a time for me to listen to what He wishes for me. And appropriately make His wishes for me to become my wishes for me. Exchanging what I want to come into line with His will. Then I can know that my prayers will be answered in the affirmative.  Has this happened for you?
