Your Will, Not Mine
As I was reading in my devotions this morning, I came across and account from Corrie ten Boom of her time in the concentration camp. She spoke how how her sister Betsie asked her lay hands on her to pray for healing. The next day her sister died and she was released from the camp.
After realizing that God had answered her prayers for release, she stated that if her sister remained in the camp she would be alone and God removed her from that situation while orchestrating her release.
She asks the question - when you pray do you have "faith in prayer" or do you "pray in faith" as they are two different things - the latter being the more difficult. She says we just need to slow down so that God can work in and through us. The next time we want an answer from God, let us examine our hearts and then ask that His will be done and not Ours.
