"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"

In Acts 9, we read about when Jesus appeared to Saul on his way to Damascus. The Lord asked him why he was persecuting Him. Saul replied in astonishment, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" The Lord then told Saul to go into the city where he'd be told what to do once he was there. Saul did what was asked of him. He acted in faith and he did the Lord's will even though he did not fully understand what was asked of him.

Like Saul, we may be asked to do the Lord's will even when we don't understand how or why we're asked to do it. Have you received a calling you felt inadequate to fulfill? Has a prophet or other church leader asked you to do something that you felt was beyond your abilities, such as paying a full tithe or serving a mission?

Elder Neal A. Maxwell stated:

“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 to 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!”

How do we give our will to the Lord?

We must trust Him. When we do the little acts of faith, such as praying, fasting, and studying the scriptures, we must have the faith to heed the promptings we receive. It's also essential to be humble. Often, we seek the Lord's guidance or assistance when we think we already know what we need. We must be open in our minds and in our hearts to understand the Lord's will. It's ok to tell the Lord how we feel and to share our opinions. But, we need to be open to inspiration from Him that will direct us to act according to His will.
