Today’s prayer is the third of four which all arrived together on New Year’s Eve.
I want your will to be done, not mine (Luke 22:42; NLT).
This is how I am, Lord,
I accept it.
I want to do your will,
And not my own.
I want to follow you, Lord,
So I humbly bear my cross;
Like you, I offer thanks
For grief and pain.
This is how I am, Lord,
I embrace it.
I want to do your will,
And to endure.
I want to be like you, Lord,
So I’m walking in your steps:
Like you, I must face death
To rise again.
Those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! (Isaiah 26:19; NLT).
