God's will.


    I always struggled to understand this one thing  when i was a young Christian.. when we say 'Lord let your will be done' ,how do we know that it will be ? Because we  do not know what His will for us is..and plus we have this  free will, almost on a run all the time!  Then how do we know that whatever happens after that moment is according to His will and not ours? What if we use our free will and say that  it's God's will? If we do not know what God's will is , then how is it gonna be executed?
    I kept asking this queston to many leaders.. and I would get many vague answers .One of them was, that we shouldn't bother to know what His will is, we only need to carry it out..! The other was,  when we surrender, then only His will takes place no mater what we do.. and so on. There was never a satisfactory answer.I never understood how..until a few days ago, when God himself showed me the answer as I was reading my Bible.
Romans 8:26 : In the same way,the Spirit helps us in our weakness,We do not know what we ought to pray for,but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.27:And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
    Most of the time, we're not in a good position to make a decision , because our will differs from God's will.We're weak. And that's when the Spirit intercedes. With our free will, when we say ,' Lord let your will be done', this is what happens. The Holy Spirit takes charge and prays with groans that words cannot express. And because the Holy Spirit is the part of the Trinity, it knows what  God's will is and hence, what to pray for.The Holy Spirit prays on our behalf and God the father listens and executes His will in our life.
    All we need to do is to submit our free will by asking for God's will to be done.Such a beautiful arrangement God has made!..it doesn't cease to amaze me! And in every weakness of ours , when we do not know what to pray for, this little miracle happens . So, I can now rightly say, 'when I am weak , then I am strong!'
