The Doing of God's Will
Psalm 143:10
Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.


: — "Thy will be done" is not a prayer of resignation only. Something is to be done. It calls for action, not passivity. The will is to be done by men. When we pray that men may do it, if we pray honestly, we mean that we are ready to do it. Are we? Are we doing it? Is what we have planned to do to-day just what we think is the will of God?

(F. W. Faber.)
