Gosh the homemade pieces were so so good, hope you enjoyed as much as I did.
This is video 1 of 3 today because last week was a bit slow for me but this week is pumped with energy (I hope)! 😅
Mass yesterday was lovely. During the week I was thinking so deeply about how when I pray for things I really really want (and feel i need) I always end my prayer with ‘but Lord not what I want, may Your will be done’. This is the same style of prayer Jesus used when He was facing agony in the garden of gethsemene the night before they crucified Him. He knew it was coming and He was so agonised he started sweating blood. Like can we even imagine what that must feel like? And being God with just a word He could have stopped it all, changed the course of destiny with just a thought or will. But no, He submitted. Full and total submission, praying to His Father saying let this cup be taken away from me but oh God not what I want, but may YOUR will be done. Waowwwwww. So I turn to my life and I know I badly deeply want something and I cannot do anything more than echo Christ in my prayers.
So I was reflecting on this that to pray this is one thing - a genuine act of faith, to be like Christ, but to MEAN it, to actually surrender myself to the will of Almighty God is another thing and it aint easy. But let me tell you it is FREEING. It brings peace. It’s like I know my Father in heaven wants what’s best for me so me I am not going to waste my time to stress.
So can you imagine having these thoughts all week and then walk into Mass and hear the second reading? It said something along the lines of we can get ANYTHING we want through prayer and that if we pray and we dont get what we want it means we didn’t pray well, it means we asked for something that is selfish. Lol. James 4:3. What this reinforces to me again is that if we pray and it’s God’s will it will happen but if it’s not best for us it won’t, and I’m ok with that!
What is your prayer attitude? Do you pray with surrender to God’s will or do you pray demanding outcomes from our Heavenly Father?
Enjoy
