Some people think that closing a prayer with “but Lord, not my will but Your will be done” is a sign of no faith.
To tell you the truth, I’m not really sure what that means. Jesus prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” (Luke22:42)
“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.”(James 1:26)
A tight rein on the tongue shows a tight love of Christ in the heart. Without Christ’s love taking over the heart, the tongue becomes a venomous snake, “- – – a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”(James 3:6)
A tight rein on the tongue is the evidence of a changed heart, not by might nor by strength but by the Spirit of God. ///
