+How many times have you prayed, and it has seemed like the Father turned a deaf ear to you?
+I think it comes from a view that God is somehow our genie who is supposed to do what we ask.
+The reality is God alone is perfect in wisdom and understanding, and He alone knows what is best.
+God didn’t answer Jesus’ initial request because it fell out of the scope of His will.
+There are times when you and I will go to the Father with a plea, perhaps out of anguish.
+And just like Jesus, our prayer needs to allow room for God to do what is in His plan.
+Resting in His perfect goodness, you and I can with confidence say, “Let Your will be done.”
+As you do, you can be assured that your prayers are indeed heard, whether they are answered as you’ve hoped or not.
+Even if your prayer goes “unanswered” as Jesus’ did, you can be assured that out of God’s will, good will always flow.
+So put into His trust whatever you are facing today. Rest in His goodness.
+As you do, you will find the strength and resolve to see the Father’s will done. ☝️
๐ God, in every season or situation - let Your will be done. Please be glorified through my life, and show me how I can honor You with my words and actions.
+Let everything I say and do glorify You and encourage others. In Jesus' name, Amen. ๐๐ป⚡๐ช๐ชถ๐
