•A Prayer for God’s Will to Be Done•
By Anthony Valente
👉 Your kingdom come, Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven.
(Matthew 6:10)
Today is a new day, a fresh start. Yesterday is gone and there isn't a whole lot we can do to change anything that happened. However, today is a fresh chance to live it differently.
Before their feet even hit the floor, most people are already planning their day, their activities, and reviewing things on their “to-do list” from the moment that they wake up. Life is busy and things need to be taken care of. Such is the habit of most of us.
When we became Christians, many of us looked to the Lord for each big decision. We approached prayer with a hunger to have God take care of our stuff. We sought out wisdom from the Scriptures and we were on fire to let God be God. We were excited to see God do things His way.
Then time passed and our focus fell from all of God to just some of God. Perhaps as the years have gone by, we prayed a little less for our needs. Perhaps we sought out Christian mentors less and less as we continued our habits of working, planning and accomplishing things. Then, somewhere along the way, we lost our God-focus. We reverted to our daily habits of doing all the stuff we need to do, to get through our days. Now, we find ourselves joyless, frustrated and running on empty.
How many of us are counting the days until certain events such as graduation, weddings, vacations, and retirements? How many of us, though, are inviting the Lord into all of these plans?
What if all the troubles, the family drama, the broken hearts, the piled-up bills, the mess-ups that occur throughout our days, are God’s way of trying to get your attention? What if God is using all the stuff, both good and difficult, to get you to spiritually wake up?
Today, look at all the things going on in your life, and view them through this verse. Your kingdom come, Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Can you lay out all your fears, concerns and activities before the Lord and pray to have His will be done in each one?
As you think about each thing you must face today, bring them all before the Lord in prayer and give it to Him. Let Him have His way in every area of your life and over every one of your to-do’s. Let Him be God and let Him create something beautiful in your life.
Let’s pray.
🙏 Dear Lord,
You are the Almighty, the Creator, the God of all. Help me as I go through this day. Help me to put aside my will and to discard any of my plans that are standing in the way from your plans. Open my heart to see things the way that You do, to be a vessel for You to work through, as You carry out Your plans for my today and for my tomorrows.
Father of love and grace, I rejoice that I am Your child and that I have been saved by the blood of Christ and made a new creation in Him. Thank You that my sins are all forgiven by grace through faith in Him, and that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Lord, I want to surrender my will to Yours and to say daily, “Thy will not mine be done.” Help me to step out in faith moment by moment as I surrender my life to You. Uphold me with Your righteous right hand and keep me I pray, from falling. Lead me in the paths of righteousness for Your names sake, and guide me into the way everlasting.
Lord, may You be glorified in my actions, in my relationships, in my thoughts and in every activity I participate in today. Help me to keep my eyes on You and to view each situation as an opportunity for You to do a mighty work in my life. Thank You, Lord. I trust and love You, Lord.
In Jesus’ Name I Pray,
AMEN 🙏
"This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
(Matthew 6:9-13)

(Mark 11:24)
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(1 Timothy 2:1-4)
“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.
(Luke 11:9)
And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”
(John 10:28-30)
(pic verse)
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
(Romans 8:11)
