Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
'The Lord does whatever pleases him.' God's will is not always our will. We make our prayers, we ask for things. Sometimes we pray for healing, financial stability, gas prices, or any number of other things. Praying for those things is OK. God wants to hear from us, to hear what we want, and what we need. We need to keep in mind, though, that our will does not always match up with God's will. We can ask for whatever we want, but God is going to give us, or not give us, what we truly need. What we truly need may not be what we want, but God knows what is best for us. His love for us knows no end and in that love God has a plan, a will, for us in our lives. When we pray, we need to always pray the prayer Jesus taught which says, among other things, 'thy will be done.' God's will is not always our will. We need to keep that in mind, and also that God loves us. God bless you.
