Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Like most people my age, I grew up reciting the Lord’s Prayer at school every morning. I remember, throughout my days at primary school, the class would stand together first thing in the morning and recite by rote, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done…” This prayer became the standard starting point of my prayer life when I eventually gave my life to Jesus.
This is a powerful yet simple prayer that Jesus taught his disciples to pray. I believe that this prayer is a fabulous formula we can use to enhance our prayer life. It begins with praise and worship, then takes us through submission to God, on to making requests for our needs, followed by confession of sin, and then into spiritual defence against the forces of evil. However, for me, the most powerful part of this prayer is when we pray the words, “…thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
God-tracking is all about submitting to the perfect will of God. I believe that God has a plan for our lives; a plan to prosper us with hope for a good future. If you know Christ as Lord and acknowledge God in all you do, then you will align with his plans for your life. God’s plans are God’s will for you. Scripture calls us to renew our thinking so that we will be transformed to know and experience God’s perfect will.
Sometimes our thinking is so clouded by the patterns of this world that we don’t clearly see God’s plans for our lives and end up stepping out of his perfect will. Therefore, we need to prayerfully correct our thinking by setting our minds on things above and not on earthly things. This will open us to discover God’s amazing plans for our lives and lead us to walk squarely within his will.
So, pray with me, your will be done in my daily life, O Lord, as it is done in heaven. As Kay Arthur said, “The will of God for your life is simply that you submit yourself to him each day and say, 'Father, your will for today is mine. your pleasure for today is mine. Your work for today is mine. I trust you to be God. You lead me today, and I will follow.’”
God-tracking is enjoying God’s will on earth.
READ ALL ABOUT IT.
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
“Your kingdom be manifest in me and I pray that your will be done in my life exactly as it is done in heaven.”
“My Father in heaven, hallowed by your name. May your kingdom be manifest in me, and I pray that your will be done in my life exactly as it is done in heaven. Grant me my daily needs and provisions for today and forgive me my sins, as I confess them in Jesus’ name. I also choose to forgive those who have sinned against me. And, dear Lord, don’t allow me to be tempted or tried beyond my means and deliver me from the attacks of Satan. I pray this to your glory because yours is the kingdom and power and majesty forever. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
