| Thy
Will Be Done
|
We can ask God for anything. Nothing is too small or insignificant. But we must ask with Faith, possessing the conviction that God does hear and that He does answer in the way known only to Himself Furthermore, this means that our only genuine and unchanging petition is the one taught us by Christ in word and deed: "Thy will be done!"
When we ask God to give us what we need and to enable us to accomplish His will, we cease placing "demands" on God. We seek not our desires, but His, striving to discern His will and to make it our own. We cannot take prayer seriously unless we are willing to follow unconditionally that which the answer to our prayer will compel us to do. |
