The Lord's Prayer
(traditional)
Our Father, which
art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom,
The power, and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

What do these words mean to you: "Thy Will Be Done"?
As a Christian, when you pray, do you pray that the “Lord’s Will” be done in "your" life! Are you yielding your plans and your way to the Lord’s? "Why" do we pray for the Lord’s Will to be done in our lives?
We pray that the “Will of God” may be done in our lives because we believe it to be “perfectly loving and righteous”. The Lord loves us and God has already planned what is "best" for us. Our own Savior, Jesus Christ prayed this prayer in regards to "His" TEACHING His disciples how to pray. Whether we actually say, "Thy Will be done" (in our prayer) or whether we use a less formal phrase, it is important to pray in God's Will. It is acceptable for us to tell God what our will is for a given situation, but then we must always defer to Him and let Him know that we desire His Will above our own. Even Jesus did this in the Garden of Gethsemane when He was facing torture and death on the cross: "...He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will." Please read Matthew 26:39 - see below:
Matthew 26:39
New King James Version (NKJV)
39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
Therefore, if we are to be like Christ – how much more should we follow, obey and say what Jesus said - “Thy will be done…”
