your will be done

One of the hardest things in life, one of the bits that takes the most amount of maturity, is doing something that wasn’t your plan. Let’s be honest: we like our own ideas best, and following someone else’s ‘inferior’ plan can be really annoying - especially if it eventually works out better!

Jesus tells us to get over ourselves.

“... your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” - Matthew 6:10’

The essence of prayer is about giving up your own ideas and submitting to God’s. He has a will, a design, an idea - and it’s always the best, even when it doesn’t look like it. That’s why when we pray, we don’t ask God to do things the way we want; we ask for His will to be done first. For water to flow, it goes high to low.

There’s a completeness to God’s will too. We’re to ask for it to be done, not started. When you’re praying today, ask what outcome God wants, what result is on His heart. His will is always good, and always best when completed. Oh, and, get over yourself.
