"Not as I will, but as you will"

January 15 2007
Matthew 26:36Then Jesus went with his
disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here
while I go over there and pray."
37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."

 39Going
a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I
will, but as you will."



 40Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. 41"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."



 42He
went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it is not possible
for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."



 43When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.






Do you ever feel like this?

"My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I
will, but as you will."

I was actually thinking about this this morning because of a song that came on 88.7. It talked about giving God all of our dreams and hopes. I've found that my daily prayer has become wanting His will in my life and knowing that no matter what I could want for myself...His plan is and always would be better.
