Prayers That Work:
Surrendering My Will To God's Will
Prayers That Work:
Surrendering My Will To God's Will
I. The Lord's Prayer
“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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)
II. Three Common Things That Stress Us Out
Today We Are Talking About What To Pray In All Three Of These Stressful Situations
"Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done..." Matthew 6:10
III. What Does It Mean To Pray “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done”?
1. I put GOD’S WILL over MY WILL.
“…I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:11-13 (NLT)
Fact: God's not going to give us an explanation for most of the things that happen to us in our lives.
2. I SUBMIT to God’s control of my life.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 (KJV)
“Submit to God, and you will have peace; then things will go well for you.” Job 22:21 (NLT)
[Jesus] “Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from Me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not Mine.” Luke 22:42 (NLT)
3. I TRUST in God…that He has POWER and KNOWS WHAT’S BEST for me.
“You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
“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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)

- This takes practice.
- It’s a choice.
- It’s only possible through strength Jesus gives.
