His will -
Luke 22:42 "Father,
if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Yet not
My will, but Yours be done"
As we kneel before some of life's greatest
challenges, we need to receive the peace of God that
will stand with us and for us through all
circumstances. I am reminded of the scene in the
passion of the Christ, that I believe had great
impact on many people. It is where Christ is faced
with the certain understanding of what he is to face
in the hours and days ahead of Him and in that
moment, having full understanding of His purpose to
take on the burden of freeing all mankind from sin,
He prays to His Father asking if there is a way for
this burden to be removed from Him, however He says
to His Father, let Your will be done!
Many times in life we get faced with moments
where we pray to God to remove certain burdens or
situations from our lives and possibly even blame
Him for these situations or struggles we might be
faced with, but it is in these times that we truly
need to turn to Jesus and exalt Him for the price He
paid for us. These times that we get faced with have
purpose and we need to ask our Father who loves us
dearly to let His will be done, so that we do not go
through times in life in vane without the purpose or
will of God being fulfilled. Know that God is with
you and only wants the best for you, so trust Him
and understand that the current pain of your
circumstance will bring forth much reward if you
turn to your Father in heaven and ask Him, to let
His will be done in your life.
Prayer: Dear
Father God, Forgive us for those times when we look
to our struggles and tribulations with dispair and
selfishness as we forget that Christ paid the price
for us, for which we are truly grateful. Thank you
for Your grace that is so amazing and allow us to
know that these difficult times, too will pass and
we ask that Your will be done in our lives. In
Jesus' name Amen. |
