"Yet I want Your will to be done, not mine."
Luke 22:42
NLT Bible
Jesus knew of His impending death, recognized it was His ultimate purpose for His time on earth, and even though He was well aware of the horrific pain and suffering that awaited Him, His prayer to His Father was, "not my will, but Yours." This, in essence, must be our daily prayer. We need to pray that God's will be first and foremost in our lives. It's not easy, because we have preconceived notions of what we want, when we pray. Sometimes we even tell God what we expect and what the outcome needs to be.
We must relinquish our control to God, allowing Him to perfect His will and purpose in our lives. It's surrendering everything to Him, acknowledging that we don't know it all, but we trust Him implicitly to work everything out for us. It may mean enduring trials and struggles, walking through deep valleys, but if we have prayed for God's will in our lives, we have the assurance that He will give us the strength and fortitude to endure anything that may come our way. It is only through acceptance of His will for us, that we will ultimately achieve our full potential.
Thank you Lord for dying for me. Lord Jesus, above everything else, my desire is that Your will, not mine, be done in my life. I surrender all to you, Lord and come what may, I want to do Your will. I love you Jesus. Amen!
Be Blessed!
