Thy Trust Quote by Richard C. Eyer
““To pray rightly 'Thy will be done' is to trust that God's intentions toward us are good and gracious. To pray for the will of God might be to ask ultimately for the opposite fo what we want and to trust that the unknown quantity of His intention is tempered by love for us.””
