Your Will not Mine

Scripture: Mark 14:36 Abba, Father, he said, “Everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

Observation: I used to live my life doing what I wanted and not what God wanted for me. I worry even though He tells me not to and I’m anxious because I don’t trust Him fully. I lack faith and I’m afraid. He gives me opportunities to serve Him but at times my laziness stops me and my desires comes first.

Application: In my heart I know what God’s will is in my life. It takes effort to deny my will and do the Father’s. God’s will needs to be the priority in my life and my purpose for living.

Prayer: Lord in all I do not my will, but yours be done.
