"Your will be done"

Matthew 6:10  

        Your kingdom come,

        your will be done,

            on earth as it is in heaven.

 

Matthew 26:42 

    Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done." 

 

 

The word "will" means choice, desire, pleasure. Our desire should be that what the Father desires is done on earth, his creation. In his prayer Jesus was submitting to what His Father's choices.
