Not as I will,

but as You will.

         Matthew 26. 39

(How to pray

     in any situation.

How would praying that way

change what we pray about,

what we pray for,

how we respond,

how we walk with Him,

what we see and hear,

how God

       opens our hearts,

seeking not just an answer,

                 but Him?)

O LORD,

You do not just open doors

   but open our hearts to You.

You do not just answer

   but align our hearts to Yours.

Help us to know You more

        even in these circumstances,

  even in what we don't understand.

May we seek You.

           And stand amazed.

Help us to expect,

watch,

listen,

    and look for You.

Order my day.

Guide my steps.

Direct my thoughts.

Align my heart

             with Yours.

Not my will

          but Yours.
