Submission in Prayer

By William M. Taylor

PRAYERS should always be characterized by entire submission to the will of God. The undertone of every supplication should be, "Not my will, but thine be done." There is a warrant for stretching earnestness up to this point: "Father, if it is possible;" but that must always be combined with the "nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." This is a prayer that is always answered, and the answer to it can bring ultimately nothing but blessing to him who breathes it in sincerity, though in the immediate future there may be betrayal and crucifixion.—W. M. Taylor.
