’Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven’

It would not mean that, but something a but more chilling.

In Heaven, God’s will is a foregone conclusion - it’s done.
On Earth, God’s will is one thing, and your will is another.

You get to choose. God isn’t into rape. Your love for Him is a choice.

What you are asking, is that His will be done, even if your will isn’t the same as His at the time.

I’d rather His will be done, because I trust His judgement more than I trust my own.

How do you know it would not mean that? I believe His will is done all the time.
