Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his life,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, as Chuck continues with praying God's

will as we pick up in Matthew chapter 6 verse 10 and now with today's

message here's pastor Chuck. I believe that every right thing that I have ever

prayed for and received, God had already

purposed and planned to give it to me before I ever prayed.

You say, then why pray?

Because God has made me a free moral agent.

God has given me the capacity of choice

and God honors my choice and will not violate my free will.

God will only do for me what I am willing for him to do for me

and what I allow him to do for me.

Therefore, prayer is opening the door to God to do the things for me that he was

planting and wanting to do all the while, but would not do against my will.
