A challenge.

Anyone who wants to follow Me must let Me take control. You can't be at the steering wheel, because that's My place. Embrace your pain -and I will show you how. You can't help yourself. If you sacrifice yourself you will save yourself, that is the way. If you get everything you ever wanted and in the process lose who you are...what good will that do you?
Mark 8:34-7. Mon style.

When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was in a battle of the wills. "...Yet not my will, but Thine be done". Self- sacrifice. Laying down your desire to let God take control.

Jesus, enable me to do just that. Let me lie down what i want so i can be freed up to do your will. Take control of my driver's seat 'cause Lord i know I'm going to crash big-time. You know the exact twists and turns and i might just lose the brakes on this one.
Amen.
