This is the week we remember the ultimate act of submission by the Son of God. Was it easy? Matthew 26:39 gives us a glance into the struggle the human part of Jesus had with His upcoming death. It says, "Going a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will." NIV
How willing would we submit to the Lord if we knew what our future held for us? Would we choose submission if we knew it held deep suffering? If we're only a little hesitant, it reveals our lack of confidence that the Lord wants the best for us. Do we believe the Lord is good "all the time" when we are going through difficult times?
Father, help our unbelief as we're human and frail. We fail You, but you will never fail us. Amen.

Failure. Boy I used to wear that invisible label. Thank you, Lord, for NEVER failing us!
