Humility and Prayer

During suffering it is important to humbly pray as Christ did in the Garden of Gethsemane. 

There is an old teaching that basically goes: Many think of prayer as trying to get God to do your will. But true prayer is trying to understand what God’s will is and do it. I heard and African American preacher put it this way:
 
You got a lot of people that talk about naming and claiming, and calling and hauling…But there’s just something about saying, “THY will be done!” that we’ve forgot.
