Yielding to God's Plan

Reading 
Luke 22:39-46
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

Devotional
In the Garden of Gethsemane, we see Jesus, in His humanity, struggling with the path set before Him. Yet, He ultimately yields to God's will, saying, "Not my will, but yours be done." This powerful example teaches us the importance of surrendering our plans to God's greater purpose. Often, we cling to our own ideas of how things should unfold, resisting God's direction when it differs from our expectations. But true faith means trusting God even when His ways are not our ways. Today, consider areas in your life where you might be resisting God's leading. Pray for the strength to let go and the faith to follow where He guides, knowing that His plans for you are greater than anything you could imagine for yourself.
