Welcome to Verse of the Day!

Today's Bible Verse: Mark 14:36 And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (ESV)

Today's Inspiring Thought: Not My Will, But Yours Be Done

Jesus was about to undergo the most difficult struggle of his life—the crucifixion. We can sense the intense conflict in this prayer, as he sweat droplets of blood (Luke 22:44) and asked his Father to remove the cup of suffering.

Then he surrendered, "Not my will, but yours be done."

Here Jesus demonstrated the turning point in prayer for all of us. He not only prayed it, he lived it: "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me." (NIV)

When we want something desperately, choosing God's will over our own is no easy feat. But if we truly trust God, we'll have the strength to let go of our wants and passions and believe that his will is perfect, right, and the very best thing for us.
