Today,
reply is on the continuing acknowledgment of divine prerogative,
eternal purpose, and the sovereign will of GOD that appears in
Christian prayer. To become a Christian is more than simply be a
part of a casual or loose association of neighbors. To become a
Christian is to become a member within a sacred priesthood.
Therefore, the prayer uttered by a believer should display their
correct sacred knowledge of divine process, of properly
displaying reverence to divinity, and of the workings of prophecy.
The content and focus of prayer is to be the shared divine purpose.
Prayer as leaders and workers within the body of Christ may be
expected from mature believers endowed with spirit substance from GOD
more than from those who are yet developing whose primary concerns
continue to center on oneself and ones own family. Prayer in accord
with the will of GOD does not express ambition, covetousness, envy,
exaggerated pride, selfishness, and other works of the flesh. All
Christian believers are recruited to serve divinity in roles that
include judges who administer divine law and sacred judgment; kings
who govern and rule as agents of the dominion; pastors and shepherds
who maintain consecrated flocks; priests who offer required and
voluntary gifts; and prophets and spokespersons declaring the oracles
from GOD, and the needs or petitions of his covenant people. There
may be family and private prayer as communication to express
otherwise hidden emotion and personal secrets to GOD; even so, prayer
for the full body is an indispensable sacred work that has formal
elements and structure. The name, reputation, and how we are to
speak of GOD are framed by gratitude, praise, and reverence. A

Christians
: Why, in the Lord's Prayer, do you pray ' thy will be done ', yet
when you pray on behalf of yourself or a loved, you pray for..?
your
own, desired outcome ?...Not trying to be smart alec here, just that
this is something I've always wondered about . Thank you .
Update:
Oh, and just to add to my thoughts here, lotsa people consider a ' no
' answer from God to be a non - answer...Ever notice that ?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my
spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low
estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done
to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is
on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed
strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination
of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their
seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry
with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath
helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he
spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. (Luke 1:
46-55, King James Version, KJV)

“rollickingredsfan”,
here are some points to consider that often are overlooked by sinners
who turn to GOD through Jesus Christ, and become developing
Christians:
A
person’s focus on salvation may
begin and continue indefinitely as a form of introspection, judgment,
and self-assessment; however, properly understood, those who turn to
Christ enter into a relationship of service to divinity wherein they
are to display Christ-likeness, and reflect the image of GOD.
Those
who are “born again” receive a fresh endowment of life
essence (we also say, breath; spirit; word) imparted from the
makeup of divinity, and are to “grow up again” to become
mature/ripe for harvest by the Lord at his appearing.
The
developing believer must undergo a transformation to exist as a life
companion to immortal, incorruptible, invisible divinity. In
addition to fulfilling duties and works for disciples, developing and
mature believers are molded through discovery; fellowship with those
anointed and ordained by divinity; giving; gradual growth; practice
of discernment; praise; prophecy; study of the holy writings;
unselfish service; teaching; suffering; and worship.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, Christians are all called to
operate as members within the full body of Jesus Christ on the earth.
All are called to serve in his priesthood proclaiming divine law,
sacred promise, prophecy, and revelation. With this in view,
communication with divinity and prayer also are transformed. Prayers
from the Bible that best serve as examples to believers acknowledge
eternal purpose, and express confession of sin, gratitude, and
humility along with petitions for supplies.)
Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you
according to your faith.
