    Your Will Be Done // Matthew 6:9-13 // Trey Hayman

    What do you do when you pray in faith and God doesn't answer the way you hoped? In this message from New City Church in Nashville, Pastor Trey Hayman continues our series on the Lord's Prayer with "Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).Prayer brings us face to face with both the power of God and the pain of unanswered prayer. Pastor Trey names two common temptations: avoiding asking because we're afraid of being let down, and assuming that enough faith always gets us what we ask for. Then he turns to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36–46), where Jesus prays in agony, "not my will, but yours be done." Following the pattern of reckon, request and respond, he shows how Jesus names God's love and power, asks honestly and persistently for the cup to be taken away, and surrenders in trust to the Father's will.Along the way, Pastor Trey explores how Jesus echoes the Lord's Prayer and the Jewish Kaddish prayer, what "the cup" means, why honest pain in prayer is not a lack of faith, and why the destination of prayer is not the outcome but God's presence.New here?
