Prayer that seeks God’s will is not tantamount to receiving a punch in the chops. The Holy Spirit’s work assures us that we can offer our desires to God with arms wide open to receive the best that a heavenly Father, who loves us infinitely and eternally, can provide for this life and the next. He who loved us enough to send his Son and his Spirit to us has proven by their ministries that he will respond in ways that are right and loving when we pray.
