His will be done
Reading through the notes in the 'Principle of the Path"
Question is:
"How does praying, "Not my will, but yours be done," help you to rest in the fact that you have done all you can and all you should?"
Is there a time when we have to accept that our desire is not going to happen?
That we must simply walk away from what we want and desire and rest in the will of God?
I am bothered a bit by the end of the question, as a pastor I know of a mother who's daughter is in a long term care facility in Florida. She suffered brain damage from a automobile accident while staying with her dad. The dad suffered the same but not as badly, yet he was awarded custody. While mom is trying everything to get her daughter home with her in South Carolina. Note Dad lives in Kissimi, Fl, daughter is in Miami with no family there at all. She is all by herself.
The task of getting custody and getting her home seems hopeless, no money for lawyers, no money for anything. Should she rest in God's will? Seems that she would be giving up?
I know God is in control of the situation and His will is being done, as the book states, sometimes our hopes and dreams are changed by circumstances beyond our control...
He is able...
