The Lord's Prayer: Thy Will Be Done

The Rev. Dr. Paula V. Mehmel Season 1 Episode 34

Pastor Paula continues her sermon series on The Lord's Prayer with a discussion about the phrase "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." A lot of people often say "It must be God's will" when something horrible happens, but Pastor Paula firmly believes that God's will for us in only life, light, and goodness. God in no way wills anything bad and God hates death.   As a result, we are being part of God's will for the world when we seek to be agents of life and love in a world in need of healing.  Pastor Paula sees herself as a "PR agent" for God, sharing God's light, instead of blaming everything awful on God's will and this episode reflects that commitment.
