"THY WILL BE DONE."
Many times we end our narration about some form of misery with "bahala na ang Diyos", "If its His will we cannot do anything". According to Chris Tiegreen in "At His Feet", however, THEY WILL BE DONE is not a feeble resignation to God's will. Rather we should pray it in boldness as an assault on the gates of hell. It is a call to arms against the will of the enemy. A battle royale between the evil will of the devil versus the Holy Will of God. We know already who is the victor.
I never saw this verse in this light@ From a weary end to a prayer, it is in essence a declaration of victory!
Jesus prayed this when He taught the disciples to pray. It is at the beginning of the "Lord's Prayer" --
"Our Father, who art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy Name Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done..."
And again He prayed in Gethsemane, knowing the horrors that He was going to go through. He said --
"But not my will, but Yours."
It is a recognition of God's supremacy, His sovereign will that is perfect and holy, and powerful. By praying "Thy will be done", I am submit to His plans, foresee only His goodness in the outcome, and proclaim the victory that is solely His.
