Spiritual Vitamin: "Jesus 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." Matthew 26:42
Challenge: How do you feel when you're prayers aren't answered the way you want? Prayer isn't just getting God to do what you want Him to do. Prayer is about a relationship with God. It's an expression of our trust in His power, wisdom, and sovereign plan. Will you trust that God has your very best interests in mind?
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for the reminder that even your Son, Jesus, prayed and desired for the cup to be taken away. Yet, He wanted first and foremost, your will. Your will was for Him to be a sacrifice for the sins of this world. Lord, even though so painful for Jesus, I can't imagine what life would be like if Jesus didn't trust You! So, Lord, may I trust you for those prayers that "feel" unanswered. I know, they're just not answered the way I want them to be. Amen.
