The Sweetest Lesson

The Sweetest Lesson

Spread out your petition before God, and then say, “Thy will, not mine, be done.” The sweetest lesson I have learned in God’s school is to let the Lord choose for me.

D. L. Moody

As you and I walk hand in hand, your trust in Me increases. You know I want what is best for you, reflecting the goodness of My heart. I know the way I designed you and long for you to fulfill My purpose in your day-to-day living. You’ve encountered obstacles in your path that seem unnecessary, and you have begged Me to remove these cumbersome, time-consuming interruptions.

I want you to pray in a different way—the way My Son taught His disciples to pray: Your will be done. When you pray this way, you are beginning to understand My power over every aspect of your daily life. You’re acknowledging that I know the end from the beginning and that you trust Me with the outcome of your situation. You’re aligning your will with Mine, and you understand that even in your most difficult trials, I will work things out for your good. Praying “Your will be done” will free you from having to figure out and fix everything yourself. You are learning the sweetest lesson—that you will not be spared from all sorrow in this world, but that you can have peace in My presence, knowing I manage all the details of your life.

May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew 6:10
