I think I was in the 4 year old class at Sunday School when we had to memorize the Lord’s Prayer.

Most folks say it every Sunday so it is familiar and albeit comforting and comfortable for us.

In confirmand class, I learned more details about the well-learned prayer taught to us by our Lord.

Hopefully, we learn and grow with age and purportedly that is what I’ve done. What an eye opener when I realized the impact of “Thy will be done.” But, but, but…..

I make plans and then ask God to agree to them. That’s funny, now that I think back on those times of trying to “convince” God of the merits of my plans. Haha!

There was such a huge release of stress when I relinquished the necessity to orchestrate the outcome and was able, with love, to say, “God, may Your will be done and whatever You choose, it will be the best plan for me, thank You.” Immediately there is a sense of relief. If God loves us unconditionally and wants only the BEST for us, then His plan will be AWESOME!

Since I turned in my reign of “in charge,” I’ve been so pleased with how well God can handle things. Thy will be done. Crazy, huh?

Be sure you add that to your daily prayers “Thy will be done.” You will thank Him for so perfectly loving you and caring for you.
