Choosing

Should we only accept from God the things we like and reject everything he sends that we dislike? ~ Job 2:10 (ABP)

Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine. ~ Luke 22:42 (NLT) 

 KEY IDEA:
We always end up better off when we accept everything that God gives to us.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for your generosity and how you sent Christ into the world to repair our relationship. I realize that you want only the best for us and that even when bad things happen you are turning them toward the good. However, I act like I should be in total control -- the boss of my life. I like to pick and choose what I get behind. In the moment of struggle help me to see the value of being behind you in all things. I am going to choose that which is clearly from you. Amen.
