Subject: Should we pray outside of God's will? |
Bible Note: Hi MJH, Jesus said, "there is only one good, God". So these "good" people to whom "bad" things happen do not exist. Luke 18:19 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone. Only God knows the conclusion of a matter before it's completed its course, so only God is qualified to tell us if something that happens to us is good or not. Is 46 9 "Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things which have not been done, Saying, 'My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure'; To even say that something that happens to us is bad is to go beyond what we can know. This is true regardless of what the circumstance is. If we are praying for God's will to be done, then we are praying for trials. James 1 2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. The trials are for our good. God wants us to be complete and mature. That's what God says. Love in Christ, Mark |
