Do It Our Way?, p. 329
In praying, our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific
solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people
as we have already thought they should be helped. In that case, we
are asking God to do it our way. Therefore, we ought to consider
each request carefully to see what its real merit is.
Even so, when making specific requests, it will be well to add to each
one of them this qualification: “. . . if it be Thy will.”
12 & 12, p. 102

A lot of the time when I am exposed to a situation I think I know what would
be best if it happened…So I immediately want to go to my prayer closet & let it fly
…So often I find out later that what I perceived as a tragedy turns out to be a miracle
& vice a versa…These days I try very hard to end ALL of my prayers with “if it be thy
will…Thy will be done…Today I trust that God knows better than me…All the time
Leave me a comment about the way you deal with your prayers…Thanx
