It is so difficult to trust God with the unknown. Or the diagnosis. Or His timing, which always seems to be different than yours. How do you pray and trust God with the most difficult situations in your life?
“Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26: 38,40
If you feel overwhelmed, sad, afraid, or all of the above, how do you pray? Jesus modeled it perfectly when He was facing the cross.
Jesus asked His Father for a different path. But He surrendered His wants to God’s ways. And we can do the same. Share your honest hopes and dreams with God. Ask Him for a different outcome.
Then trust your Father’s heart. Trust His plan and timing, even if it is painful and not what you would have chosen.
When you surrender your will to a loving God, you are praying like Jesus. – Sandi
