Have you ever wanted something so desperately you prayed for a specific outcome and when God had a different answer, you turned your back on Him and lost your faith?

When you trust that your Heavenly Father knows all your needs and knows the situation from His perfect perspective, you can faithfully pray, “Thy will be done.”
