The Importance Of Asking God To Change Our Will to His Will

Sometimes, life can feel like such a struggle-everyday!  And it can be so exhausting.  Especially when we are holding onto our will instead of God’s Will ?.

And sometimes, it’s just hard to let go of our will.  Perhaps it’s a particular job that we wanted to get or perhaps it’s a person we love who is ill, and we want that person to get better.  Perhaps, it’s covid, or the direction of our country, or the direction of the public schools…  There are many pure, unselfish, well-intentioned efforts happening every day, but that doesn’t mean they are God’s Will.

The Truth is, we don’t always know why God’s Plan is better ?.  But we know that God’s Plan is indeed better. And we know that God knows our future, and we don’t. And God loves us!

Perhaps the job we wish for won’t bring us into contact with those God wants us to meet.  Perhaps the person who is sick is bringing many to Christ. 

We know from reading the Bible, that our nation is not a leader in the final days, just as we know that Jesus Will come back for us 🙂  So perhaps our nation will not turn back towards God and perhaps it will.  But we do know that whatever God’s Will for our country and schools; it will eventually be used for our good ?

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I have trouble letting go of “my plans” in favor of God’s Plans.  After all, my plans are such good plans, lol (good thing God laughs). 

And so I ask Him to change my will to His Will-and then there is no more struggle.  When we are in God’s Will, it’s the very safest and happiest place to be.  There is peace.  Worry and fear are gone.  We can’t always get there by ourselves, but God can get us there, if we ask Him.

God knows and understands what will bring us Peace and Joy.  After all, He made us and wants us to be happy!  So if we are struggling a bit, this prayer helps?
