Prayer to do the Father's will

Loving Father, knowing that You have a plan for my life and want the best for me fills my heart with confidence. I yearn to strengthen my relationship with You and Christ Jesus by doing Your will. Holy Spirit, please bring to my remembrance that doing the will of God is what brings me intimacy, purpose, and unfailing hope. Guide someone across my path today who feels distant from God and overwhelmed by darkness. Use me to be a source of care and truth by sharing this wonderful promise. Stir them to pray, not my will, but Your will be done. In Jesus’ name.
