“[Jesus] went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed…
‘Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me;
nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
-MARK 14:35,36
True
prayer affords us the greatest opportunity for self-denial. When was
the last time we offered up prayer, not for our agenda or plan, but for
God’s Kingdom to come and for God’s Will to be done? When was the last
time we came before the Lord, not to get our needs met, but to meet His
Need? When was the last time we subjugated our own desires and wishes
and gave ourselves wholly to praying for God’s Purpose to be
accomplished? When was the last
time we separated ourselves from family, friends, and business and
sought the Lord; not to receive a blessing FROM Him, but to be a
blessing TO Him?
