Jesus had to pray the prayer of surrender. Do we? The purposes of God become our purposes in His presence. For by one offering Jesus has perfected forever those who are being sanctified (Heb. 10:14). As a born-again believer, your spirit is a completely new creation, but your soul still needs sanctification. Our souls consists of our mind, will, and emotions. To that end, Romans 12:2 says, "be transformed by the renewing of your mind." In addition to renewing our minds, we know not to be led by our emotions. For instance, Paul exhorts us, "Be angry, and do not sin." But when's the last time you considered the importance of your will in the process of sanctification? Our will is what causes grumbling and complaining (Phil. 2:12-14). Our will is what determines how we perceive doctrine (Jn. 7:17). Our will is often what stands between us and our calling (Mt. 26:36-48). God is working in the will of His people. "For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Phil. 2:13) This book will invite you back to the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus beckons to His disciples to "watch and pray." "Not my will, Father, but Your's be done."
