So this Maundy Thursday, we join God the Son in praying
to God the Father, “Your will be done” (Matt. 6:10).
And if we find that, in body and soul, we wish God’s will
for us could be done in a way different from what God’s
will appears to be, we may wholeheartedly pray with Jesus,
“Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup
from me.” But only if we will also pray with Jesus these
nine gloriously humble words, “Yet not what I will, but
what you will.”
Because God’s will for us, however painful now, will
result in joy inexpressible and full of glory, and the salvation
of our souls (1 Pet. 1:8–9). –DesiringGod.org
