Your agenda or His?
In the Bible the disciples ask Jesus how we should pray. Jesus then gives us a model by which we are to follow. This is historically known as the Lord's Prayer.
In the prayer, there is a line that says your Kingdom come your will be done. What that line means is "God whatever you want to happen let it happen." Too frequently we get caught up in doing what we think is right. We lose sight of what God wants. We do our agenda instead of His.
We then have to ask ourselves are we really following Christ or are we just doing what we think he wants, or even worse what we want to do? Every day we need to focus on the Lord, and set our own wants and fears aside and trust Him. As Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane "Not my will, but yours."
It's difficult, I know, but whoever said being a disciple for Christ would be easy?
