Releasing my desires for the Lord's Will


"More inportantly, they would be “willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon [them], even as a child doth submit to his father” (Mosiah 3:19). Indeed, they would be willing to “offer [their] whole souls as an offering unto him” (Omni 1:26) and humbly pray, “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42)." 

I have struggled to know God's will and purposes of the things occurring. I have sought to know what it is I am to learn and how exactly everything is to work out.  My fault has come in needing to know! I want the exact outcome, rather than having to just have faith. 

However, The Lord is needing me to learn to have faith that He could create miracles, and be willing to accept His will.  I must accept both and exercise both Faith in Christ to create miracles and a willingness to submit to His will. 
I must not shrink, and I must allow what I want and know The Lord can do to be forgotten and to accept what The Lord's will is.  No matter how righteous my desires, and no matter how easy I know it would be for The Lord to grant, I must be willing to have faith that The Lord knows and is at the helm. And all things really will allow me to grow to the person He needs me to be. The learning to submissively submit to His will is difficult especially when my heart wants are righteous. Yet, my righteous desires may not be the will of The Lord. 

Perfection does not come in this life, but comes in the next. However, I must improve, my strengths must become stronger and weaknesses must be worked onto become strengths! I must strengthen my ability to relinquish the faith that my righteous desire can happen because I know God can do all things, and willingly be okay with my desires no matter how righteous not being the will of The Lord. 

Perfection not in this life but rather progress!
