God"s Will

Let your will, not mine, be done”
Based on the Lord’s Prayer


It seems to me that at times I pray to God to let me have my way, that he let “my” will be done. I am not praying for his will to be done, but I am praying that He will endorse my will. I guess that without thinking this means that I figure that I am smarter than Him. When I do pray asking that his will be done, I am praying for: direction, humility (to admit that His will is the important one) and the ability to see myself as a servant. Becoming a servant is not easy. I am praying that I can contain my “self” or my “will” and be open to His will concerning my fellow man. My “I” becomes small. This situation does not become a battle of wills but rather an immersion of my will into His and this is proving to be a life long process.
