YOUR WILL BE DONE

[MIRIAM JACOB]

YOUR WILL BE DONE

There are times we pray for one thing or another

as we name them all one-by-one.

But as true believers we’re taught by God

to also pray , "Your will be done."

Yet, in the process of so many words lifted

those four are most powerful indeed.

For those four words are directing our hearts

to the One who supplies all our needs.

While God in his glory knows our whole story

and welcomes our heartfelt expressions,

He lets us ask from our human perspective

while His sovereignty teaches us lessons.

And if we truly pray for His will to be done

we can digest when His answer is “no.”

For God shuts the doors…but we later see reasons

then we trust Him as we spiritually grow.

Sometimes in prayer we ask God for one thing

and watch Him moving to grant us a “yes.”

Roadblocks are lifted….and doors open to show us

that it’s God and only God who can bless.

“Thy will be done” aligns us in submission

toward a God who’s all-knowing and wise;

Asking for what 's best through His perfect wisdom

and the future He sees with His eyes.
