Guaranteed for Life
In the Word
“Thy will be done, …” (Matthew 6:10a KJV).
Of the Word
“Money-Back Guarantee!” “New Results — Guaranteed!!” “Guaranteed for Life!!!” Seldom is there a product advertisement without the promise of absolute perfection. This absolute perfection only lasts until their next new and improved version hits the market.
What about prayer? Does prayer guarantee my concerns will be heard? “Too good to be true,” we mutter. But Jesus teaches us to pray, “Thy will be done, …” (Matthew 6:10a KJV). When we pour out our hearts and hurts in prayer, our loving God listens. He knows what is best for our lives. His will is to keep us in His grace until we arrive safely home in heaven.
We can pray “Thy will be done, … ” with confidence that God never fails to give us what we truly need. Many times it is even more than we could have imagined! Our prayer journey is filled with joy and peace — guaranteed!
Walking with my Lord
Lord, in times of fear and uncertainty, send the Holy Spirit to assure me of the prayer that never fails, “Thy will be done, …”. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
