Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven. Matt. 6:10
God is
good. He has given us the privilege of prayer so that we can come to Him and
ask Him to meet our needs. Prayer is much more
than just asking for our needs. God desires that we pray His will be done. For a period of time, God in His sovereignty
has allowed man to follow his own course and rebel against His will. For example,
God’s perfect will does not include murder. The Bible says that God hates hands
that shed innocent blood (Prov. 6:17); however, God has allowed man to act on
his own fallen nature and take innocent lives, even those of the unborn. The
fact that there is unrighteousness does not mean that the righteous are to
stand idly by and accept it. God wants
us to pray that His good and perfect will happens here on earth just as it is
in heaven. Again, according to his sovereignty, God answers our prayer.
With
being said, we should ask ourselves, “Do our prayer lives include a time where
we ask that God’s will is done in our family, communities and country?” “Do we
have a time in our prayer that we stand against such things as abortion?”
Prayer does matter, and we are to believe that as individuals or corporately we
can make a difference to stand against unrighteousness by kneeling in prayer.
Take
some time to seek the Lord and see what He places on your heart. Make it part
of your prayer life to pray for some area of your family, community or country
that is not in line with God’s will.
