Praise the Lord, you angels,
    you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
    listening for each of his commands.

Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
    who serve him and do his will!

Psalm 103:20-21

 

 

In the Bible,  Jesus says; “not My will, but Your will be done…”and obviously, He’s talking about His Father, the Great I AM.  He’s teaching us that His will be done, and not ours.

But I often wonder, how many Christians follow what Jesus has said?

As we go about our lives any given day, we should always move forward with that notion in mind. That ultimately, it is the LORD’s will, and not ours, that is and should be prevalent at all times.

It’s relatively easy to lose sight of that during our busy encounters, and duties throughout the day. But when we go and pray and meditate that should be on the forefront of our minds.

To pray for God’s will to be done, is to be committed to pursuing the knowledge of God’s will. While getting to know His ways, and His doctrine, and His word.

To pray for God’s will to be done,  is to submit to God’s perfect wisdom, and sovereignty, and power. While trusting in Him, even when going through the harshest of trials.

Praying for God’s will to be done, inherently becomes a comparative basis for Christians to conform to Him, while exploring the world,  believing He will guide us, direct us, and lead us, while honing us into a closer mirror image of Himself, from the inside out.

It can appear as a Herculean task to be disciplined in God’s word, while accepting His will.  But eventually, we will be victorious through Christ, and excel, as we aspire to higher ground in Him, and through Him.

The next time we pray, “Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom come,  Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven…” Stop and really think about those words, and what it means to apply it to our everyday life.  Ask for His guidance, and help, to truly grasp the enormity of that undertaking, with the ease of wisdom, and knowledge ,that only comes from Him, and His grace.

He will show you, His will for your life, you need only ask. Our Father, is a loving and obliging God, today, tomorrow and always.  

“Father God, we thank You for Your word, Your love and Your will in our lives, may we always be obedient to You in prayer, actions, and in our hearts, in Jesus name, Amen.”
