I think often of the prayer of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane as He faced the cross (Matt.26:36-46). He prayed to His Father asking that there might be another way, than the one that seemed so eminent. He prayed three times over the same issue. We know that we are to be persistent in prayer yet not persistent in desiring our will! During the third prayer, there was an alignment with the will of the Father in the words; "may your will be done." It seems to say to me; I have offered solutions, suggestions and options that I prefer, yet, I choose your plan over my plan. Thinking of the Fathers plans for my life, He has not only my eternal good in mind, but as with Jesus, the eternal interests of others. There is peace for us as we trust that "Father knows best" for our lifes's situations. The Holy Spirit will guide us as we pray and seek His presence.
