Praying For God’s Will – Submitting To God’s Way

Contributed by Esther Collins on May 11, 2022

Often we pray for God's will, and hope things will work out the way we want them to. But in reality it's in submitting to His will, and willingly going His way can we experience God's perfect blessings.

When life is hard, and things don’t go as we planned we get discouraged. In times like these we go to God in prayer. As we pray fervently we hope that God will answer us the way we want Him to.

Sermon # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024

The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.

God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.” (ESV) The one who said these words in the verse mentioned above, was the King of Nineveh, which makes it truly astounding. Let me give you a background which led to this response ...read more
