Praying God's Will.

'…it can therefore be said that prayer is none other than an act of the believer working together with God. Prayer is the union of the believer's thought with the will of God. The prayer which the believer utters on earth is but the voicing of the Lord's will in heaven. Prayer is not the expressing of our wish for God to yield to our petition and fill up our selfish desire. It is not a forcing of the Lord to change His will and perform what He is unwilling to do. No, prayer is simply speaking out the will of God through the mouth of the believer. Before God, the believer asks in prayer for the Lord's will to be done. '   Let Us Pray - by Watchmen Nee

Mat 6:9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 

Mat 6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 

Mat 6:11  Give us this day our daily bread. 

Mat 6:12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 

Mat 6:13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

God's will-  The Father God is in heaven and His name is holy.

God's will-  His kingdom will come.

God's will-  His will be done on earth- as it is in heaven.

God's will-  To give us daily spiritual sustenance.

God's will-  To forgive our debt- as we forgive others.

God's will-  To not lead us into temptation.

God's will-  To deliver us from evil.

Joh 6:38  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 

Joh 6:39  And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 

Joh 6:40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 

Praying- God's will NOT ours.

Praying- Us working with God.

Truly, we are given a great gift in being not only able to pray but encouraged to pray.

Eph_6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints

Working with God always.

Honestly our entire life should be willingness to work with God for His will to be done- no matter what that will may be. We should NEVER set aside any ME time away from God, not ever! God in ALL we do from the worst thing to the best. When our flesh nature takes over and we know we are not living the will of God, we need to seek forgiveness- it is God's will to forgive us! If we need to seek forgiveness over and over again then we do just that! We don't give in to despair of ever being God's. We are God's, it is His will that we be His.

While we may desire a certain thing be accomplished for very good, very valid, very loving reasons, it may not necessarily be God's will.  God has the big picture in His will, not the very small pictures we are only capable of. We don't see twenty-thirty years down the line… in truth we don't even see tomorrow that well for all our planning of our days. God's will may seemingly go starkly against all you imagine it should and yet in that big picture He views that will of His is going to accomplish what a true Christ follower desires most- salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord,  God's will being done. All the pieces that need to fall into place are not ours to know, but through the Spirit, through grace we may trust in the will of God as our hearts break in a billion, trillion pieces.
