We pray that it is God’s will that this priest may be protected from those that would do him harm.
But if it is God’s will that this priest may come to harm as part of his greater plan, let God’s will be done.
Excellent....as the will of the Father is paramount!
(...and it’s the best for all concerned as well.)
Your prayer reminds us of what Jesus prayed during His agony in the garden...right before His own torture and crucifixion to pay for our sins.
He is our model and we follow Him....because He loves so much and is Goodness itself.
