DAILY DEVOTION
Add the “Nevertheless”
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
Luke 22:42, ESV
As Jesus was in great distress and faced the coming agony of the cross, He prayed three times that the Father would remove the cup of suffering. It’s okay to ask God to take away something that’s overwhelming and seems too much to bear, but you need to add the “nevertheless.” “God, if it doesn’t happen my way, I’m not going to complain, live bitter, or give up on my dreams. I’m going to stand strong, endure, knowing that this suffering season is leading to a resurrection, to a new level of my destiny.” God wouldn’t have you in the difficulty if He didn’t have something amazing in front of you. There are levels of favor and blessing you can only see by going through a season of suffering. The pathway through is designed by God to launch you to the power of the resurrection, to favor that you’ve never imagined. But you have to pass the test. This is the time to say, “God, I may not like it, but I trust You. I know that You’re taking me through to a breakthrough.”
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You are worthy of my unconditional trust. There are things in my life that I don’t understand, overwhelming things I want You to remove, but even if that never happens, I’m still going to trust You. I gladly leave these matters in Your hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
