The Father’s Will

“Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be they name.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 6: 9,10

“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.”

Matthew 26: 39

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this, but be transformed

by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what

God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Romans 12: 2

Scripture and Prayer for Submitted by:  Rev. Robin S. Andrews Watrous

Heavenly Father, we come to You with open hearts seeking Your precious face; looking to You for Your will, wisdom, direction, and guidance in our lives as we begin to return and reconnect with families, friends, neighbors, place of work, communities, and most of all reconnecting with the body of Christ.

Lord may “Your will be done,” may we surrender our own wills to You, as Jesus surrender His will in complete obedience to You, “Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

Lord, it is so easy to go back to our lives as we knew it, get caught in all the busyness with activities, events and work. Instead let our hearts, eyes and ears be open to those who are lost, hurting and who have suffered great lost in these time of trails and storms we are still facing.

May we keep our focus on You and Your will; so we may continue to walk in your perfect will, sharing the message of the Gospel with those You place in our path, being a beacon of light, hope and peace. In Jesus name. Amen
