Teach me to do your will, for you are my God;
may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
Psalm 143:10
Thoughts on today's verse:
We want the Spirit to be at work in us to make us like Jesus. For this to happen, we must open our heart to the will of God. There are no greater words God wants to hear than "teach me to do your will." That is what it means for him to be God, to have control over our life and our will.
Prayer:
Almighty God, I want you to truly be God in my life. I renounce any attempt on my part to try to manipulate or use your grace and kindness for my benefit. I submit my will to yours. But Holy Father, I confess that I struggle at times with my own selfish and evil desires that lead me astray. Please forgive me when my heart is cold and my ears are deaf to your will. Please, take control of my life today. Through Jesus my Lord, I ask you to assert your will as God in my life. Amen. '

What a great prayer to start off the week. Take some time and meditate on the words of the prayer and don't just read it. Pretty powerful stuff.
Blessings,

>>I submit my will to yours.
That's the beauty of it all, isn't it? He gave us "choice" and then gave us the choice to serve Him.

Tom (TBA), i agree with your comment on the "beauty" of our relationship with God. i'd add that He also gives us the resources to pull it off.
