I would say you are a smart alec and don’t know what you are talking about, merely parroting what you have been taught. I would suggest you didn’t even get that right in the parroting.

I can play the snotty game all day long. And my last name is Dickey so I can probably do it better than you can. But, it doesn’t make for much of a conversation. Wanna try again? Or do you wanna ride with the demonstration that you are too smug to waste time answering a question so I can see where you are coming from.

This is uncalled for.

I would recommend, to those that are filled with Grace the Lord has given, to do their best to charitably display that particular Grace.

Alas, I often fall short in doing so.

In the above you wrote, “One can not change God’s will.”

And it is written, “This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth.”

And also Jesus taught us to pray, “…Thy Kingdom come, Thy WILL be done…”.

Some may think it a waste of time to pray for God’s Will to be done, since as you said, “One can not change God’s will”, however prayer can be and is very “profitable” in changing the prayer (person) rather than the Prayee (God).

Could be that Jesus was teaching us one of the ways of aligning our will with God’s Will in this prayer known as both the Our Father and The Lord’s Prayer.

Hi Tom Baum: You are correct in what you have said and I agree with your statement. One prays for God’s will be done, just we say in the Our Father “thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Prayer is very much profitable, its never about changing Gods will but in doing Gods will, and hoping God will grant our prayers if it is His will. I also agree with that Jesus is teaching us how to pray and the Our Father has it all; it is the perfect prayer given to us by Jesus Himself.
