In Gethsemane, Jesus faced the weight of the cross. He did not deny the agony before Him. He asked if the cup could pass, yet fully submitted to the Father’s will. This was not reluctant obedience…it was surrendered trust in the midst of sorrow.
God’s will is higher than human desire, even when it is costly. Honest prayer and full surrender are not opposites. True obedience bows even when the heart feels heavy. Trust is proven in submission.
There are seasons when outcomes are not what I would choose. I can bring my real feelings to God without pretending strength. Yet surrender remains the turning point. Peace does not come from controlling circumstances…it comes from trusting His will above my own.
As a Christian, we bring our honest prayers to God without fear. We submit our desires to His greater wisdom. We choose obedience even when it costs us comfort. Beloved, let’s trust His will above our own.
Matthew 26:39 ~ And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
