Luke 22:41-42 says “And he (Jesus) was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done”.
Knowing the will of God and doing the will of God are two different things.
Most often than not, it will take prayers to empower you, before you can fully give yourself to the will of God for your life.
Our opening text, shows how Jesus had to incessantly give himself to prayer for God’s will, that is, him suffering, and dying on the cross to save humanity to become a reality.
Jesus had to pray to bring down his “own” will for the will of the father to be done.
You see, no matter how hard or tough you see God’s will, that’s actually God’s best for you.
You must therefore pray for the grace to fully give yourself to the will of God than to avoid it.
When you pray, you will receive divine enablement to do God’s will. In Jesus’s case, the Bible says, angels came and empowered him (Luke 22:43).
Whatever the will of God is for your life, never run away from it. Pray! It will enable you stand in God’s will for your ministry, marriage, career, and all that concerns you.
Read: Colossians 4:12 “Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God”
