Nevertheless, I want Your Will To Be Done, Not Mine!

Luke 22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 

The best thing possible for us, is always what God wills for us. Sometimes God's will may be pain, or worldly loss, or sore bereavement. 

Yet His will is always love, and in simple acquiescence to this will, we shall always find our highest good. 

No prayer, therefore, is pleasing to God which does not end with this refrain of Gethsemane, "Nevertheless, I want Your will to be done, not mine!"

This is also the way to peace. As we yield with love and joy, and merge our own will in our Father's***the peace of God flows like a river into our souls.
 

Act 21:14  And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. 

1Sa 3:18  And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
