The Why vs. The I

Jesus faced His greatest test in the Garden of Gethsemane, where He experienced real agony and temptation but chose to surrender to God's will with the prayer: not my will, but yours be done. His response to betrayal and suffering teaches us that God's plan is always bigger than our immediate understanding. When we face difficult seasons, we can trust that God is working even when we can't see the purpose. The key to living like Jesus is to pray first, submit quickly, trust God fully, and obey completely, remembering that the why is always bigger than the I.
