What Does "Not My will but yours be done" mean? I need for things in about the bible to line up with our lives down here like when receiving prayer we should get what we ask for. Right now it's all negative coming from the belligerent acting warfare waging war coming up against my life and personal freedoms. When who the son sets free is free indeed, and need His mercies.
It means that people who profess to be Christians must submit their will, or their desires, to the will of God, just as Jesus did.  Jesus said:

Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother (Mark 3:35).

God’s will is knowable and provable:

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — His good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans12:2).

God's will is about us pleasing God and serving Him:

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God! Let your good Spirit lead me (Psalm 143:10).


Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).

It’s true that Jesus said, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer” (Matthew 21:22). But, even in that statement, we have one condition to prayer: faith.
It isn't about what you think you need, or getting what you ask for.  It isn't about what you perceive to be your &quot;personal freedoms.&quot;  It's about following Jesus, and taking up your cross.  It's about humility and serving others, just as Jesus did.
