“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

So the question remains, are we willing? At first glance the answer sometimes looks like no, but God can do in and through us what we can never dream of doing on our own. Prayer is all about acknowledging that we are dependent on what God provides and confident in what He can do. In Matthew 6:5-8, Jesus is essentially saying, "Do you want to live a life that pleases Me? It’ll show in the way you pray, how you express yourself to God and who you draw attention to in the process." Is your praying all about Jesus or all about you?
