The 4th session of The Yoghurt Brigade is entitled Your Will be Done. This is the second installment to the 5-part series of diving deep into the Lord's Prayer. (See this link for the first one and this link to see the whole The Yoghurt Brigade series).

Your Kingdom come

Your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven

We talked about a few characters in the Bible who, at one point in their lives, were faced in a situation that challenged their decision making - whether to go for God's will no matter how impossible it sounds or settle for one's own will. Here are a few:

1. Mary 

She gladly accepted God's will to bear the savior of the world. Even if she probably doesn't know how she will deal with this or how she will explain her immaculate conception to Joseph. But she gave in to God's will and trusted it.

2. Abraham 

Grateful to God for giving him Isaac despite old age only to be placed in a situation where he had to give him back. It was the most difficult decision but he trusted God's will.

3. Joseph the Dreamer

He has gone through all mishap one can possibly think of - sold by his own brothers because of jealousy, falsely accused of raping Potiphar's wife and a lot more. He could have spent his life rebelling against God and his own family but he did not. He surrendered to what God has planned for him.

4. Jesus

Who else can demonstrate following total surrender to the divine will but Jesus himself? He gave up His glory to be with us to save us from our sins and its result, death.


I have messed up my own life many times because of the crazy decisions I made. Most of the time we think we know what to do until such time we realize we don't have a clue. In those times that I stumbled because of my own will, He was still faithful to turn my mess into a message when I rose up. The same faithfulness graces my every minute until now.

We need God all the time. We need Him not just when we think we need Him. We need Him even when we think we don't. There's no need to argue.
