Friday 25 June

Genesis 17:1, 9-10,15-22; Ps 128;
Matthew 8:1-4

Of course I want to?

While miracles happen, we know Jesus does not always respond by saying, "of course I want to." Jesus added the rider, "not my will but your will be done," when he pleaded in the garden. We could well do the same. We are not wise enough to know what is best for us or knowledgeable enough to know what our part in God's plan is. But we can trust God, who knows us and loves us more than we know and love ourselves. God may not give us what we want, but God does always answer our prayer
