O Father, I have prayed to know Your will. I have asked how my life can bring the greatest glory to You. I have prayed the prayer of glorifying Your name. Now I understand better the implications of what that means. I have counted the cost. I know it will not be easy. Father, I am scared to surrender. I lack the courage to obey. It is so much easier to do my will rather than Yours.
Yet, with my Lord Jesus, I pray, “Not my will, but Yours!” With clarity, remind me what Your will is and how I can best serve that. As You reveal that to me, give me the courage to say “yes” to You. I want to rise from this encounter with resolve to want Your will more than life itself.
I surrender my fears to You. I surrender my uncertainty. I know You will answer every question in due time. I know You will walk with me down this path, and that gives me great courage. I know that serving You will bring the greatest delight. With Jesus, I say, “My food is to do Your will and to accomplish Your work” (John 4:34).
Minister to me with Your angels. Minister to me with Your presence. This decision is not easy. Reassure my heart that surrender is good. Reassure my heart that You will uphold me.
Not my will, but Yours!
