In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 1, we also learn that Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him in a dream and took Mary into his home. This is a good example for us. If we feel uneasy when we say "thy will be done..." in praying the Lord's Prayer, then it's clear that we and God are not really in accord with each other yet ~ a sign showing that more submission is in order. Remember that taking orders from God does not mean that you'll be given an unpleasant task to perform. On the contrary, you'll always feel rewarded and peace after obeying him. Pray that we'll develop a zeal to anticipate and be ready for God's call at any moment.
