So, I figure I\u2019ve prayed \u201cThy will be done\u201d thousands of times. Sometimes, when I\u2019m feeling most submissive and surrendered, I even pray, \u201cnot my will, but Thine be done,\u201d as Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. <\/p>\n<p>For all my experience, however, it\u2019s not easy to pray it sincerely. I want to mean it. I hope I mean it. And maybe, of the thousands of times I\u2019ve prayed it, I\u2019ve really meant it a hundred times. And that may be a tad optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019ve learned another way to pray for God\u2019s will that helps me do so a lot more honestly and sincerely. It doesn\u2019t feel as spiritual as <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/what-it-really-means-to-pray-thy-will-be-done\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cThy will be done,\u201d<\/a> or as abandoned as \u201cnot my will, but Thine.\u201d But it sure has been a help.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the time, when I pray, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/how-to-pray-for-what-you-really-want\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I pretty much know what I want<\/a>. I even think I know what God wants. (After all, in the Bible He says a lot about the things He wants: love, grace, mercy, justice, life and so on.) For example, if I pray for someone to come to an experience of new life through faith in Jesus Christ, praying \u201cThy will be done\u201d can feel redundant. The Bible already says that God is \u201cnot willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance\u201d (2 Peter 3:9, KJV). Similarly, when I pray to become more like Jesus, I know that \u201cthis is the will of God, even [my] sanctification\u201d (1 Thessalonians 4:3, KJV). And so it goes. <\/p>\n<p>But \u201cThy will be done\u201d isn\u2019t always so clear. I know that God\u2019s thoughts are not my thoughts, and <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/prayers-for-stronger-faith\/when-prayers-go-unanswered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">His ways are not my ways<\/a>, as Isaiah 55:8 makes clear. His timing is hardly ever my timing, and His tactics and strategies are often inscrutable to me. At such moments, my new way of praying for God\u2019s will comes in handy. In this case, I\u2019ll pray according to my (admittedly limited) wisdom and then add, \u201cunless you have a better idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, God\u2019s ideas are always better than mine, and I\u2019ll often say so when I pray that way. His will is a \u201cgood, pleasing and perfect will\u201d (Romans 12:2, NIV), always. That\u2019s the context of my prayer, \u201cunless you have a better idea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not fancy. And maybe it won\u2019t feel right to you, but it helps me remember that God\u2019s in charge. He\u2019s much smarter than I am, and I want everything I ask of Him to be granted only if and when it\u2019s His idea too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019ve prayed the Lord\u2019s Prayer since preschool, and I\u2019ve prayed it daily for many years.
