Beloved, just as children learn to surrender their will to their parents, we must also learn to surrender our wills to our heavenly Father.
Instead, we say, like our Lord Jesus Christ. Who totally surrendered His will to God, when His life was on the line in Luke and Mark.
Luke 22:41-43 AMP tells usβ¦
βAnd He withdrew from them about a stoneβs throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, βFather, if You are willing, remove this cup [of divine wrath] from Me;
yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.β
Now an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.β
ππππππ ππππ πππππ ππππππ πππππ, πππ ππππππ.
Also, Mark 14:36 AMP tells usβ¦
βHe was saying, βAbba, Father! All things are possible for You; take this cup [of judgment] away from Me; but not what I will, but what You will.ββ
When we truly surrender to God, we no longer fuss about what we want, when we want it, and how we want it.
We do not have to defend ourselves just as Jesus Christ did not defend Himself to anyone (especially those who accused Him) once He surrendered His ALL to God.
I remember puritan Richard Baxter, who said βLord, what thou wilt, where thou wilt, and when thou wilt.β
Zechariah 4:6 AMP tells usβ¦
βThen he said to me, βThis [continuous supply of oil] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel [prince of Judah], saying, βNot by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],β says the Lord of hosts.β
