His Will

When you pray the Lord’s Prayer, one line is…Thy (Your) Will Be Done. Do you mean that? Are you really asking for God to provide what is HIS WILL? Oh my, that is tough one! Sometimes or possibly many times when we pray, we end up “asking” for redemption, for peace, for renewed health, for “stuff,” for guidance, for mercy, for financial security, and so on. We absolutely could say in our prayers, …Heavenly Father, YOUR will be done. Specificity has its place but HIS will tops everything. His plan for you is to have you leaning and trusting in Him with full and complete faith. The glitch is we are human, we fail, we falter, we disobey, we want the reins. Just as an infant grows and learns, we, too, grow and learn of Him and His ways.

Bible Studies, church, devotions, so many ways to learn how to lean into Him and HIS WILL for you. Is this easy, a piece-of-cake? Not really, but each time you trust enough to say, “Your will be done,” your strength in Him will empower you. 

Our Father loves us unconditionally and is available 24/7 for us, no exception. Wrap your heart and head around accepting HIS WILL, and asking for the wisdom to discern what is HIS WILL for you.
