Your will Lord

 

Lord, not my will, but Yours, the hardest prayer to pray, the most freeing surrender to make, choosing Your way over mine even when I desperately want my own.

I have plans, preferences, ideas about how things should go, but I'm laying them down and asking that Your will be done, not mine.

Teach me to pray this prayer like Jesus did in the garden, honestly acknowledging what I want but ultimately surrendering to what You want, trusting Your will is better.

My will is limited by what I can see and understand, but Your will accounts for everything, sees the full picture, knows what's truly best for me and for Your kingdom.

Help me surrender daily, not just once but every time my will conflicts with Yours, choosing to release control and trust Your plans over my preferences.

Remind me that saying "not my will but Yours" isn't resignation or defeat but faith, believing that what You want for me is better than what I want for myself.

Give me the courage to mean this prayer when it costs me something, when Your will looks different than mine, when surrender requires sacrifice.

Let this be my posture today and always, not my will but Yours, choosing Your way over mine, trusting Your heart when I can't see Your hand.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
