              “Our Prayer; God’s Will”

              By Dave Branon

              Read: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

              2 Corinthians 12:8: “I pleaded with the Lord three times that [a thorn in the flesh] might depart from me.”

              Bible In A Year : 2 Corinthians 10-13

              The handwritten prayer request was heartbreaking in its seeming impossibility: “Please pray-I have multiple sclerosis, weak muscles, trouble swallowing, increased pain, diminishing sight.” The woman’s body was breaking down, and I could sense despair in her plea for intercession.

              But then came the hope – the strength that trumps the physical damage and degradation: “I know our blessed Savior is in full control. His will is of utmost importance to me.”

              This person may have needed my prayers, but I needed something she had: unabated confidence in God. She seemed to present a perfect portrait of the truth God taught Paul when he asked for relief from his difficulty – what he called his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Cor. 12:7). His quest for relief turned out to be not just a seeming impossibility; his request was turned down flat by his heavenly Father. Paul’s continual struggle, which was clearly God’s will, was a valuable lesson: Through his weakness, God’s grace could be displayed and God’s strength was “made perfect” (v.9).

              As we pour out our hearts to God, let’s be even more concerned with seeking His will than we are with receiving the answer we want. That’s where the grace and the strength come from.

              Dear heavenly Father, I bring to You my petitions,but I give to You my heart. While I plead for You to answer my prayers, I also submit to Your will so that my heart may be strengthened and Your work be done.

              We pray not to obtain our will in heaven, but to effect God’s will on earth.
