walking into the will of God...

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.

how often do we honestly pray for the will of God, above our own will? as God is growing me up, maturing me in His spirit, I am praying for the will of God above my own desires... I don't know what it will mean... but I know that the true purpose of every person's life is to further the kingdom of God... so if what I desire does not further the kingdom of God... then I submit it back to God...
Jesus was overwhelmed with sorrow... unto the point of death... He did not desire to give His life... He wanted to live and love and grow old like each of us does... and He went back 3 times... trying to change the will of God if it were possible... but the will of the Father was not so.. the will of God had Him to be sacrificed that we might be saved... and because of Him giving His will back to God... multitudes (including me and hopefully you...) have been saved...

Father... I give you my will... I give you my desires... I give you my heartfelt love and devotion... I give you my life... use me to further the kingdom of God... no matter what that might mean for me personally... I will walk forward into the will of God despite the desires of Susan... I submit my self to You... in the name of Jesus Christ the savior... amen.
