Matthew 6:10 (NLT)<\/span> \u201c\u2026\u2026. <\/strong><\/span>May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0As Jesus answered the disciple\u2019s question as to how to pray, He emphasized the need to pray for God\u2019s will to be done, but what is God\u2019s will? To know His will requires us to invest a certain amount of intimate time with God, in His Word and through prayer. This brings up the question, \u201cHow often do you pray to know God\u2019s will versus just praying for your will<\/strong> to be done?\u201d\u00a0 I wonder for those of us who are involved in various ministries just how often do we really spend time in asking the will of God for His ministries to which we have been called to manage?\u00a0 By the same token, if our lives have been surrendered to God, how often do we ask His will for our lives? We are quick to convey our will and needs in our prayers to the Lord, but how often do we meditate on the will of God, how often do we ask what is His will for our lives, or even for the day?\u00a0 I am reminded of a recent conversation with a pastor that was telling me all the plans he had for his new church and ministry.\u00a0 After about twenty minutes of blowing and going, I asked, \u201cHave you asked God what is His will for His ministry that He has given over to you to manage?\u00a0 His reply was, \u201cOh, I know what has to be done because I have planned this all out for a long time and know exactly what I want to do.\u201d\u00a0 Consequently, that is most often the case with most, our will and plans, our ownership of that which we really don\u2019t own at all.\u00a0 \u201cOn earth as it is in heaven\u201d speaks of God\u2019s sovereignty, His will throughout and over all creation and especially those who are defined by His name.\u00a0 It speaks of an attitude of spirit and heart, an attitude of obedience in living out His will in our daily lives as people of the Kingdom.\u00a0 Being within His will is the key to a genuine in an intimate relationship with God, the desire to remain in His will in all that we do and are about.\u00a0 Amen?<\/h4>\n
