Today’s Scripture: And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” Mark 14:36 ESV
Our will, our flesh, can lead us contrary to God’s will can’t it? As Jesus said to the disciples just two verses later in Mark: 14:38 “The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (ESV) We must stay alert and pray.
Selfishly going and doing what I want only robs me of God’s will and witnessing His miracles. I need God’s help in asking where I should go and what I should do. Too many times I just go and do what I want. If I only would recall that His will is fulfilling, impactful and eternal.
The disciples asked, they went and they found just what Jesus told them they would. We just need to ask, to go and trust we will find what God tells us we will.
Will we ask Jesus where we are to go today? Do we desire His will over our own?
Today’s Prayer: Abba Father, all things are possible for You and I ask You to show me Your will. LORD, where do You want me to go? Help me to hear You clearly and help me to desire Your will over my own. Build up my spirit so that I will allow You to overcome my flesh. I trust I will find what You promise. Amen

Amen my brother. Thank you for your encouragement and friendship. Glad God is guiding us and praying we just continue to seek His will and just do it! I know He will continue to show you where to go and you will witness His miracles and you will find exactly what He told you you would. Blessings!
Thanks Tom!! I don’t often leave a response but your affirmations can totally turn my day around – and remind me…I am not alone and if I will stop long enough to allow God to be in control…things will work out. My challenge has always been to give my “worries” to God. Your affirmations make me stop and give them back to God. Have a great day!!
Wow Sharon, you just made my day and I am so thankful to God that He can do this. My heart is filled with the riches of His love when I know he can use me to help. I sing His praises and give Him all the glory! I too have found rest, peace and hope in Him. He uses each of us to encourage and spur each other on to all kinds of good works. All of us can give him our heavy burdens and He WILL give us rest. Blessings to you and I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and give confirmation to His Word!
What a prayer, Tom! Thank you and God bless you as we all pray together to do His will!
Thank you Deb. Praying with you now that we do His will. Abundant blessings to you!
