We often come to God asking Him to bless our plans, fulfill our desires, and to open the doors we've chosen. Yet true discipleship begins when we lay down our own agenda and ask Him a different question:
“Lord, what would You have me do?”
The Christian life isn't about believing certain truths about Christ - it's surrendering to His lordship. It's trusting His wisdom is greater than our understanding, His timing is better than our impatience, and His will is more beautiful than anything we could ever design ourselves.
May our prayer today be simple:
“Command me, Lord. Lead me where You will. Keep me where You desire. Use me for Your glory. My life is Yours.”
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord...” (Jeremiah 29:11)
