Surrendering to God’s Will
Devotional
Again, beloved, carrying your cross means surrendering to God’s will, just as Jesus surrendered to the Father’s will in Gethsemane. Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” showing us the perfect example of submission. Surrendering is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of trust. When we carry our cross, we lay down our plans and desires, trusting that God’s will is perfect and good.
