Topic: Lord, Let Thy Will Be Done
Memory Verse:
“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
Luke 22:42
Good morning, beloved.
Challenges indeed are part of life. Sometimes the path is plain and easy; sometimes it is rough. Sometimes things move smoothly, and at other times everything seems mistimed and difficult.
There are moments when we pray and ask God, “Lord, can you please change this situation? Can you make this person love me? Can you remove this problem? Can you deal with this evil person?” We complain, we lament, and sometimes we even become frustrated because we want God to answer us according to our own desire.
But today, God is asking us a different question: “What about My will?”
Jesus was facing a very difficult moment. He knew what was ahead of Him. He knew the pain, rejection, suffering and death He was about to experience. Naturally, He desired that the cup would pass from Him. Yet, He did not stop at His desire. He surrendered it to the Father and said, “Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
That is the kind of surrender God wants from us.
Sometimes we ask God to change the situation, but God may be using that situation to change us. Sometimes we ask Him to remove a person, but He may be teaching us patience, wisdom or forgiveness. Sometimes we ask Him to open a particular door, but God may be protecting us by keeping that door closed.
It does not mean we should stop praying for what we desire. Jesus prayed. But after expressing His desire, He surrendered to the Father's will.
There is a difference between saying, “God, give me what I want,” and saying, “God, I desire this, but above everything else, let Your will be done.”
God sees what we cannot see. He knows tomorrow better than we know today. His will may not always be comfortable, but it is always worth trusting.
So today, instead of constantly asking, “Lord, why is this happening to me?” ask, “Lord, what is Your will in this situation, and help me to follow it?”
Maybe the answer you are waiting for is not the answer you expected. Maybe God is asking you to wait. Maybe He is asking you to let go. Maybe He is asking you to forgive. Maybe He is preparing you for something greater.
Whatever it is, trust Him.
Father, not my will, but Your will be done.
May we have the grace to accept God's will even when it is difficult, to trust Him when we do not understand, and to follow Him even when the path is not clear.
Have a blessed Monday.
