Isaiah 55:8 "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' says the Lord."
People today are striving for personal improvement, self-empowerment, and inner strength. Yet, Christianity has a completely opposite way of thinking; it’s full of paradoxes. We die to live; we lose to find; and we surrender to gain strength.
When we stop trying to control the outcome of every situation and stop demanding that God resolve our problems according to our dictates, we unlock the door for God to show us His redemptive purpose.
Praying, "Your will be done" gets us out of God’s way and removes our ideas as to how things are supposed to work out in our lives, and allows God's ideas to take control. Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus. A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly without knowing what’s around the corner.
