Your will be done...

"our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done..."
"Thy will be done."... that has a whole new meaning to me now with the season of life that I am in. I am beginning to learn that "God's will" isn't just waiting on His timing. His will isn't just staying where I am and waiting before He tells me to go on with what I had planned. His will isn't just His timing... it's HIS WILL.
I didn't really get this until recently. I had my mind set that right now I am just waiting to get the ok from God to go on with what I had planned for my future. No, that's not it.
saying "Your will be done," means saying: "disregard everything that I want, Father. I yield to you all my desires. I lay down all the plans at your feet. Not my will, but Yours."
This is so hard to do. There are so many things that I dream to have, do and become one day. To give that up, I will be heartbroken.
And I would be heart broken, if I didn't have His promises to lean on. He tells me that if I give him control, if I let him hold the map, and the steering-wheel, and if I let go, I will be amazed. He has a plan for my life that is far beyond anything I could dream or imagine. He only wants best for me.
So, with His help I will learn to let go, and I will learn to trust that what He is doing is all part of a beautiful master piece.

"Delight yourself in me, and I will give you the desires of you heart." -Psalm 37:4
