Thy Will Be Done!

Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is powerful and four of those powerful words come straight from the prayer that He taught us to pray in the book of Mathew in the Bible. They are "Thy Will Be Done!" It is the Lord's will that we need in our lives! We cannot trust our own understanding of situations becuase we can not see the end from the beginning like God can. He already knows how we need to proceed, and the outcome. He knows what is really going on behind the scenes and He only wants the best for us. We may not always understand what is going on in our lives, but with certainty, God knows. Humbly, we must get out of our own way, believe that God is operating only for our good and totally let go of trying to figure out the answer, and submit to doing things God's way by saying "Not mine, but Thy Will Be Done!" Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.Proverbs 3:4-7 Holy Bible-KJV)
