S – Going a little farther, he fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.

Matthew 26:39 CSB

O – Jesus asks if there is a possibility of another way to fulfill the plan.  But, He surrenders to God’s will and not his human one.

A – This verse shows the pain of humanity in serving a holy God.  God has a will and purpose that far exceeds our understanding.  Fulfilling that plan usually contradicts our human nature for self-preservation and comfort.  In surrendering our will to His will, we have to make conscious choices that line up with God and not our desires.  It is worth it.

R – Lord, I surrender my will to yours today.  I invite your Holy Spirit to empower me with the strength, tenacity and courage to do this.  I ask that in doing this you will be glorified and I will grow in my understanding of what my purpose is.
