They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and He began to be deeply distressed and troubled. “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” He said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”  Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. “Abba, Father,” He said, "EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU. Take this cup from me. YET NOT WHAT I WILL, BUT WHAT YOU WILL.” Mark 14:32-36

 

Quote: "Our difficulty is not that we don't know God's will. Our discomfort comes from the fact that we do know His will, but we do not want to do it." - Henry Blackaby

Prayer to do the will of God

I was born to fulfill God's will. I bow in reverence to thank You, Lord Jesus, for choosing to do the will of God even if it meant laying down Your life by drinking the cup of death to save lost sinners like me. Your fearless love and unwavering commitment to do the Father's will are phenomenal to me. Stir my heart Holy Spirit to be a Christian after God's own heart by praying "NOT WHAT I WILL, BUT WHAT YOU WILL, LORD JESUS.”
