Words You Live By - Readers share their favorite Bible verse and its significance to them.

”Father, if You are willing, take this cup from me: yet not my will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42 NIV) —Submitted by Michelle Yowler of Allen Park, Michigan, who says:

“There are many times that I feel lonely. I felt especially alone when I served in the U.S. Air Force and did my tour of duty far away from home. I also get frustrated when God calls me to do something I don’t want to do, because it may push me to step outside my comfort zone.

Reading this Scripture passage helps put my heart in the right place. Who am I to feel lonely or question what God wants me to do?

While Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, I can imagine He felt extremely lonely and abandoned. He knew that He was to be sacrificed for our sins. To say He was asked to do something outside of His ‘comfort zone’ is truly an understatement!

It is reassuring to me to know that our Lord and Savior understands our feelings. We are never alone, and He will never give us more than we can handle.”
