Trusting His Will

"I can do ALL things through Christ, who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13).

I may be in a lot of pain, but of course, that's the way our enemy, that serpent of old, gets into our brains and says, "You'll never be good enough/healed/taken care of, because you've been deserted by God. Why not just get over writing this pathetic blog. Nobody reads it anyways." That's his MO! It's what he does to destroy us from within.

Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me yet not My will, but Yours be done." (Luke 22:42). The bible says he "sweat drops of blood." He let Himself be arrested, knowing that Judas had betrayed Him and that He would die, for all of us, who don't deserve what He did for us that day on Calvary's hill.

I have to pray a lot and sometimes I don't hear from God right away, so sometimes, when I wonder why I'm not hearing from Him, I ask if there is a sin that is separating us so I can be brought back into good standing with the Lord again. Some days? I have to pray that prayer without ceasing! I now ask God, daily, to show me what the will of God is, so that I might grow as a Christian. 

I think we should all begin to pray, "Not my will Lord Jesus, but Yours!"

God bless and have a very happy Saturday/Saturday night!
