His Will

Some pray for what they want, asking God to give it to them. The wiser ones kneel before Him quietly, saying "I know what I want, but You know what I need." Of course, the hardest thing of all- the most difficult thing in the world for most of us, the truly rarest thing, is to say, "Forget about what I want, forget about what I need, tell me what YOU want. Tell me what YOU need." This is the most terrifying thing, if we truly mean it, because we have suddenly placed ourselves completely at His mercy. We have become as the man who suddenly realizes the importance of oxygen and air when He is trapped at the bottom of a lake, the thing unseen and taken for granted- now the only thing that truly matters.
