Thy Will Be Done: Trusting God’s Plan When Life Doesn’t Make Sense
Yesterday’s sermon at Christ Memorial Lutheran Church left me in awe of how powerful four little words can be.
“Thy will be done.”
God’s will doesn’t always – or often – look like what we think we want it to. There are often times we are lonely, unsure or burdened with challenges that seem bigger than us.
But this sermon reminded me: God sees the whole picture.
I only see through a knothole in the fence — He sees the field, the mountains beyond it, and the entire sky. 
Thy will be done means surrendering even when it doesn’t make sense.
God’s will might confuse us but that doesn’t mean it’s not good.
You might be praying for your circumstances to change, but God wants to change YOU.
I’ve prayed for clarity, healing, success — but God’s after my heart, my character, my spirit.
God’s will may bring discomfort, but always leads to something better.
Like going to the dentist — it may be painful, but it’s for healing. Sometimes the cavity has to be dealt with.
You’re not seeing the whole story.
That brokenness, that delay, that unanswered prayer? It might be the very thread God is using to weave something miraculous.
_”For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.” – Isaiah 55:8_
His will is always good, even in the storm.
That cross — the worst tragedy — was actually the greatest act of love in history. So when I can’t see the way, I look to the cross.
Practical application our pastor challenged us with:
When you wake up, let “Your will be done” be the first words out of your mouth.
Say it in every area: your family, relationships, career, finances, your heart.
Especially say it in the areas that feel impossible. Because that’s where He often does His best work.
“Our will and even our best ideas are but little mounds before His mountains.”
Wow.
If you’re facing something today that doesn’t make sense… I see you. And He sees everything. Trust the One with the drone view.
