Overview

I’ll say it: this is our worst nightmare. More than anyone else in history, modern people believe we ought to have a good life and we ought to have some control over our lives. But Jesus says when you connect with God, you must pray, “Thy will be done.”

This means the purpose of prayer is not that we would bend God’s will to meet ours, but that we melt and soften our will into God’s. The Bible says the way to find yourself and your happiness is never to seek yourself or your happiness but to seek God and his righteousness.

In order to make it possible for us to do this, let’s look at what the Bible tells us about 1) where, 2) why, and 3) how to pray “Thy will be done.”
