Scripture: For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, Colossians 1:9 NIV Application: We can sometimes want something that is good and righteous, but it's not within God's will. Praying for someone to be healed when God wants them to pass away is an example. These are times when we can despair because our will wasn't honored, or, said alternatively, our prayers weren't answered the way we wanted. Jesus prayed the best way to pray on Gethsemane: Dear God, this is what I want, but let Your will be done. I pray also that I will accept Your will and have peace in it. Prayer: Please have us understand Your will, Father God, and help us gracefully bow to it in peace. Amen. Comments are closed.
