When we pray that God’s will would be done, we are talking about two important responsibilities. The first is that we should commit ourselves to learning all we can about His will, which means we should be studying His Word. The second responsibility is that we do His will with the power of the Holy Spirit enabling us to do so. We may say we want to do God’s will, but we may be torn between His will and our sinful desires. We should genuinely pray that He would help us to do His will and put off our sinful ways.
Do you spend time studying the Bible do discern God’s will, or is that something that you let the pastor do for you? Do you truly want to do God’s will, or do you prefer your sinful habits more?
