Settlement of His Will 

     Jesus continued to teach, and then fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 53:10-11. 

I have come down (from heaven) not to do my will

                 but to do the will of him who sent me. (John 6:38). 

     It is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. (Philippians 2:13). 

     Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:18). 

Conclusion: Back to the "Lord's Prayer"  > your will be done on earth...

First century Scripture doesn't account for all the thoughts and ways of man. God and his angels will take charge (hooray!!!) at the end of the tribulation. Meanwhile, followers of Christ are to will to do God's will regarding matters of Scripture. (See again Php.2:13, above).

We cannot pray "your will be done" and be satisfied. If we are his children, like David, God's will...will be done on earth only if we do the will of him who died for us.
