Prayer Focus - God's Will to be done

 

 Matthew 26:39 “Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.’”

 

Waiting to find out what God’s Will is concerning our lives, purpose, gifts and callings or perhaps how to solve a troubling issue can be difficult, especially when we’ve been desperately seeking Him. However, we shouldn’t question God’s love for us or be too critical of our trust in Him. And, we should always want His perfect Divine Will to be done in our lives.
