Jesus calls us to have no will but His alone. What a blessed thing to be free of all the strife and turmoil of our cluttered lives as we live out the words of the Lord's prayer-
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth."
Matthew 6:10
It is the clamoring after the things of this life, even the essentials, such as food and clothing, that keep us from the peace that one finds as they live for Christ alone.
Jesus tells us to step out in faith-
"But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33
We can find peace in our daily turmoil, fulfillment in our seemingly empty lives, if we would lay our plans, agendas, and wills down, and pick up one only, His.
