Why bother to pray since God's will will be done anyway...

last sunday, QYDS, brother sunny and i were talking about praying...

Question: how do we pray when we say God's will be done... then why bother to pray? even if u don't pray, God's will will be done what?

Attempted Answer: it is some-what like appeals?

-------------------------------------------------

Appeals happen when a legal, rightful decision has been made and you apply for reconsideration to the decision.

like when a criminal sentenced to his deserved punishment or a student expelled from school after repetitive warnings.

both cases have clear objective spelled-out conditions... so when the person receives the sentence, he/she cannot say it is not fair...

However, the court and institution allow appeals...

And such appeals are sincerely seriously considered by the authority in charged.. it is not fake or just for show... as in.. give u a chance to appeal.. but they won't even bother considering coz they are justified for the earlier decision...

But, the authority though has the right to earlier decision accordingly to law.. DO consider appeal for each case seriously... and in the end.. some appeals does go thru successfully...

But if the person never bother to appeal.. he/she miss the chance for second re-consideration..

u guys following?

----------------

So, as fallen men in fallen world, there are sickness leading to death...

Yet, we are given the priviledge to appeal thru prayer... the right to the appeal is due to Christ's Work on the Cross.

Thus, we can appeal and believe God is seriously considering our appeals... for the sake of Jesus.

He will reconsider the course... based both on His supreme knowledge of what is the best coz we pray for the best to happen PLUS consideration our co-work with Him thru the mysterious ministry of prayer (Daniel's prayer brought about spiritual warefare and responses of angels).

(Prayer is Co-working with God... how? this is a mystery... but prayer does move God in a certain way...)

when we say God's will be done.. we are not referring to His decided will.. but we are saying we submit to His right to make the best decision.

so.. pray on..
