In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 11, and in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 6, Jesus Christ teaches his disciples a prayer. Jesus taught us to not babble repeatedly in our prayers, because the Most High God knows what we need before we even ask it. God the Father knew us before we were born (Psalm 139:16). He is aware of us, down to the number of hairs on our head (Matthew 10:30). We pray in obedience and submission to His Will, as His Sovereign Plan and Will for each of us is revealed through the circumstances, conditions and limitations of our lives (Gospel of Luke 14:27, 33, Philippians 2:5-8.) He knows what is best for us as He fulfills His purpose for our lives, and that purpose is revealed to us through His answers to our prayers, the circumstances and events of our lives, which unfold as He has ordained them. Jesus demonstrated His acceptance of the Father’s Will for His life, even when His Father’s Will for Him was a painful and humiliating death on a cross (Gospel of Mark 14:32-36). The Will of God is greater than we can ask or imagine. He, "is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think." (Ephesians 3:20). Meditate on these words.
