What does the Bible say about praying for God's will?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we should always pray for God's will to be done, as exemplified by Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane.

In Matthew 26:39, Jesus demonstrates the importance of submitting to God's will in prayer. He prayed fervently, asking for the cup of suffering to pass, but ultimately submitted with the words, 'Nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.' This posture of submission is essential for believers, reminding us that our desires must align with God's perfect plan, even when it involves suffering or challenges in our lives. Praying for God's will brings peace to our hearts as we align our requests with His sovereign purposes.
