 ALIGN my desire with His will 

Luke 22:42 ESV: 

“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 

BELIEVE that God is Working 

Romans 8:28 ESV: 

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” 

Abandon Self-Centered Living  

Galatians 2:20 ESV: 

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” 

EMBRACE Denial  

Matthew 16:24-25 ESV: 

“Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.’” 

REST in God's Strength 

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 ESV: 

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
