"This, then, is how you should pray:
"'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Matthew 6:9-13
THE LORD'S PRAYER--PT.2: SUBMISSION
Prayer is agreeing with God concerning His will.
Prayer is not as much about bending God's will toward yours...
but bending yours toward His.
That's what Jesus meant when He said,
"your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
In heaven, God's will is done automatically.
There is no hesitation or resistance.
And so it is to be the same with us.
When we pray
"your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,"
we are surrendering our will to His.
His will is always best.
God always has our best interest in mind.
He always sees the big picture.
We can trust His ways!
Have a blessed & powerful day!
