Right Purpose | 21 Days of Prayer: Day 16

For a moment, I want you to go back with me to the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:39-45) and consider the act of surrender displayed by Jesus. As our model for prayer, Jesus depicted what transpires between a surrendered life and a flesh that wants to do something else. Instead of using His freedom to find an alternate route to save the world from eternal decay and destruction, Jesus uttered in his prayer time, "Not my will God, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42).
 

As we prepare to conclude another season of Prayer as a community, I want to encourage you to hold on to every plan you have made loosely. Sometimes we take our plans to the Lord and ask Him to bless them. I want to encourage you to go to the Lord fully surrendered with open hands and an open heart ready to receive God’s plan for this season. His plans are also accompanied by His provision and they are guaranteed to go far beyond anything that you can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
