Matthew 6:10

Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  - Matthew 6:10b

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for leading me to pray this petition.  It reminds me to let your father run his world his way.  It also reminds me that my highest calling has two parts: 1) Learn to trust your father's providential will and 2) Learn to do the right thing in his eyes no matter what my heart says. This prayer brings me into line with him, my gracious God and Savior.  Oh, Jesus, help me with this.  For me, a sinner, it's so difficult to let go of my own will and desires.  It's hard to accept the unchangeables about my life too.  Give me the faith to pray this from the heart, "Thy will be done!"  Then, with a heart that accepts your father's will, make me a productive and peaceful follower of you. 

Amen

God's will is always best even when we think we should have a say otherwise.
