Thy Will Be Done

"Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done" -- Luke 22:42 / New King James Version

If you really think about things, we have limited understanding and we can never fully comprehend the will of God.  But as believers in a benevolent God, we must always trust the will of our Heavenly Father.  Before His crucifixion, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives and poured out His heart to God. Jesus knew of the agony that He was destined to endure, but He also knew that God's will must be done.  We, like our Savior, face trials that bring fear and trembling to the very depths of our souls, but like Christ, we, too must ultimately seek God's will, not our own.  When we entrust our lives to Him completely and without reservation, He gives us the strength to meet any challenge, the courage to face any trial, and the wisdom to live in His righteousness.
