Nevertheless, I want YOUR 
will to be done, not mine!
(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"FATHER, if YOU are willing, please 
take this cup of suffering away from me. 
Nevertheless, I want YOUR will to be 
done, not mine!"    Luke 22:42

The best thing possible for us, is always 
what GOD wills for us. Sometimes GOD'S 
will may be pain, or worldly loss, or sore 
bereavement. Yet HIS will is always love, 
and in simple acquiescence to this will, 
we shall always find our highest good. 
No prayer, therefore, is pleasing to GOD 
which does not end with this refrain 
of Gethsemane, 

"Nevertheless, I want YOUR 
will to be done, not mine!" 

This is also the way to peace. 
As we yield with love and joy, and 
merge our own will in our FATHER'S--
the peace of GOD flows like a river 
into our souls.

"Let the LORD'S will be done."
 Acts 21:14

"It is the LORD. Let HIM do
what seems good to Him."
1 Samuel 3:18
