What does the Bible say about God's will in prayer?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that prayer should be aimed at seeking God's will, as His plans are perfect and good for His people.

In Luke 11:2, the phrase 'Thy will be done' indicates that believers should not only make their requests known but also submit their desires to God's sovereign will. Throughout Scripture, it is emphasized that God's will is good, acceptable, and perfect (Romans 12:2). Jesus exemplified this submission in the Garden of Gethsemane, stating, 'not my will, but thy will be done' (Luke 22:42). This principle encourages believers to seek God's guidance and align their prayers with His purposes, recognizing their inherent limitations and the greater wisdom of God. Ultimately, it fosters a heart of trust in God's plans, understanding that He knows what is best for us, often beyond our understanding.
