Thy Will

Thy Will

God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems. Max Lucado

Scripture

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 
Romans 12:1,2 NASB

I'm so confused
I know I heard you loud and clear
So, I followed through
Somehow I ended up here
I don't wanna think
I may never understand
That my broken heart is a part of your plan
When I try to pray
All I've got is hurt and these four words
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I know you're good
But this don't feel good right now
And I know you think
Of things I could never think about
It's hard to count it all joy
Distracted by the noise
Just trying to make sense
Of all your promises
Sometimes I gotta stop
Remember that you're God
And I am not
So
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will
I know you see me
I know you hear me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Goodness you have in store
I know you hear me
I know you see me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Good news you have in store
So, thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
I know you see me
I know you hear me, Lord




Sentence Prayer


Father, not my will-but Your will be done


thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Amen

BLESSINGS

Blessings

Snippet

Like Adam, we have all lost Paradise; and yet we carry Paradise around inside of us in the form of a longing for, almost a memory of, a blessedness that is no more, or the dream of a blessedness that may someday be again. Frederick Buechner


Scripture

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,   
who walk according to the law of the Lord. Psalms 119:1

Song
Chance the Rapper: Blessings


Sentence Prayer

We will proclaim your bounty and your blessing, O Lord.  We will sing to the one another the song you have put in our hearts.  Our feet will bring good news to the ends of the earth.  Help us , Lord to live out your promises.  Amen
