Psalm 143-10
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
—Psalm 143:10
Thoughts on the Verse
We want the Spirit to be at work in us to make us like Jesus. For this to happen, we must open our hearts to the will of God. There are no greater words God wants to hear than "teach me to do your will." That is what it means for him to be God, to have control over our lives and our wills. This is a key part of loving God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. As we open ourselves to the Father in this way, the Holy Spirit puts us on God's level ground.
Prayer
Almighty God, I renounce any attempt on my part to try to manipulate or use your grace and kindness for my benefit. I submit my will to yours. Please forgive me when my heart is cold and my ears are deaf to your will. Please, take control of my life. Through Jesus my Lord, and in his name, I ask you to assert your will as God in my life. Amen.
