Your Will

Scripture: Luke 22: [42] “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”

Observation: I’m always asking God to take the cup (pain) away from me, but do I do His will? I don’t like to be uncomfortable or in pain and at times just want to do what I want. I will grow closer to God when I go through the trials and tribulations, because He is getting me through them. I need to trust in Him and keep my eyes open to what He wants of me.

Application: Instead of focusing on God taking the cup from me, I should concentrate on why I have the cup in the first place. In all I do each day, I need to seek God’s will in my life.

Prayer: My Lord increase my faith and open my heart to do your will in my life. May I complete the task you set for me and glorify your name.
