How can believers pray for the will of God?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are instructed to pray for God's will to be done, as emphasized in the model prayer Jesus taught (Matthew 6:10).

Jesus taught His disciples to pray, 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven' (Matthew 6:10), implying that prayer should be aligned with the desires of God. Despite His sovereign will being inevitable, prayer serves as a means for believers to actively participate in God's plan. The example of Hezekiah, who prayed and was granted additional years of life, illustrates the effectiveness of prayer within the framework of God's will. While we may not fully comprehend the interplay between divine sovereignty and human action, Scripture calls believers to exercise faith in prayer, inviting God’s will to unfold in their lives and circumstances.
