Spiritual Foundations

Don't be confused when people tell you “there's a purpose in everything.” God can use anything – but not everything that happens on Earth is His will. That's why He told us to pray for His will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10
