Thy Will Be Done

By Sis. Marie-Louise Lizima

WINGS Women's Week 2022

Matthew 6:10 – “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”  “Thy will be done” translates into “Lord, let your desire be settled”  

What do we mean when we pray “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven?” We are praying that something will happen that has not yet happened. 

We are praying that God will bring about his heavenly purpose on earth. We are praying that God would use us to do his will. 

When we pray, “Thy will be done,” we acknowledge God’s right to rule.  We do not pray, “My will be done” but “Thy will be done.”   

Asking that God’s will be done is a demonstration of our trust that He knows what is best. It is a statement of sub-mission to God’s ways and His plans.  

We ask for our will to be conformed to His. Praying for the will of God to be done in and through our lives “on earth as it is in heaven”, means that we are willing to go through whatever it takes for His purpose to be accomplished. 

Ending one's prayers by saying 'But thy will not mine be done' strengthens our desire to seek God’s heart and His Kingdom on earth.  

Our prayer is that we want to be so aligned with the will and purpose of God that we ask God to empower us to accomplish it, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
