“I delight to do Your will, O my God, and Your law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8 NKJV)
If you find, in the course of daily events, that your self-consecration is not perfect -- that is, that your will revolts at His will -- do not be discouraged, but fly to your Savior and stay in His presence till you obtain the spirit in which He cried in His hour of anguish, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” (Luke 22:42 NKJV) Every time you do this it will be easier to do it; every such consent to suffer will bring you nearer to Him, and in this nearness to Him you will find such peace, such blessed -- sweet peace as will make your life infinitely happy, no matter what may be its mere outside conditions.
-- Elizabeth Prentiss in “Stepping Forward”
