A Prayer for When God Doesn’t Do What I Want By Rev. Kyle Norman “Not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42). A church I was once involved with spent years discerning whether to engage in a multi-million dollar building project. The project would involve the complete destruction of the current building, the dislocation of the congregation, and a complicated rebuild of an impressive worship structure. The congregation had taken years to set this vision, develop the plan, and prepare for their soon-to-be exodus. But more than anything, the congregation prayed. They prayed that they might know the will of God for them and that they receive the spiritual capacity to follow that will. They prayed for insight, courage, and discernment. |
