"The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we 'give', are actually the things He has already given or loaned us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God's will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!
- Neal A. Maxwell, , "Swallowed Up in the Will of the Father" General Conference October 1995
I pleaded with You on bended knee
My problems to resolve.
You sat in silence hoping I would give You
What you yearned the most to own:
My self-will, my hesitance to relinquish control.
In the end I gave it up
And found solace in Thy soul.
Yes, You said,
Now you understand.
I paved the way
In Gethsemane long ago.
