When we pray for God's will, we're praying for him to act. We're also agreeing to work in accordance with His purposes so we can be active participants in what He's accomplishing on earth. ~ from Scot McKnight: Sermon on the Mount commentary and Encountering God: Cultivating Habits of Faith through the Spiritual Disciplines by Kelly Minter (current Wednesday Morning Bible study at Eastridge).
