How have you been? I had an interesting conversation with someone recently. As we discussed, the topic began to change slightly.
It was about how life happens to us most times. How we tend to accept things that come our way even when we wish some of them never happened.
They were of the strong opinion that praying for “God’s will” can be a form of weakness. More like a hopeless prayer.
People ought to know what they desire and ask God for it specifically.
Like you need to ask for:
What you want.
Be specific.
Personally, I haven’t seen it that way although I can understand their views.
I would normally think it means you know God’s will is always the best.
Then, we all know that we don’t even know what God wills for us.
There are things we need badly and they are yet to happen regardless of how often we have asked God for them.
Then again, God’s will happens regardless of whether we ask for them or not.
Do we even know God’s will for us …?
We learn everyday.
I guess we need to be very specific most times as He will always do His will.
One of the responses I got from a priest reads:
“No, I don’t think prayer governs God. Instead, prayer makes us to be disposed of God’s will. If our will aligns with God’s will, our petition goes our way. If our will is contrary to God’s will, God’s will happens. Prayer makes us to accept God’s will that is contrary to our will without much complaint. This does not mean that we cannot have a particular or specific intention in prayer.
Remember the prayer of Jesus at the garden of Gestimany (Luke 22:42), which should serve as our model of prayer. Jesus’ particular intention was that the father should take the cup of suffering away. However He ended by saying, not His will but God’s will be done. God’s will is for him to suffer and he did suffer. His prayer, nevertheless, strengthened Him.”
How can I not share that beautiful write-up with you.
In addition, another comment reads:
“I think the statement on ‘being like a child’ to enter the Kingdom of God, could be referred to here. Trusting God like a baby would, his/her mum/dad, relying on what they decided is best, is the safest course of action. Blabbering about stuff you assumed is best for you rather than praising God and working hard to be in tune with Him, could lead to confusion, frustration and even mental health issues.
How do you know when to stop asking for more? Leaving your destiny in God’s hands does not imply endorsement of laziness, it means going about your business with a confidence for success and not in fear of failure. It means accepting defeat and disappointment without breaking down, because you believe you’re not entirely in charge. It’s a highly liberating way to live and operate. Of course, you have to be contented with the barest necessities, rather irrelevant lifestyle.”
Over to you…
What do you think?
Do have a blessed day ☺️If you like this post, please comment, share and subscribe to my blog.
