But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (Daniel 3:18)

When singing the song, "Surrender to Jesus, body spirit and soul," I am reminded of my father struggle with a terminal illness. Doctors say that there is no hope for a long life. We pray for his recovery. However, the point of the miracle took place when the father pray, "Your will be done, I surrender to You." Touch of God occurred. My father felt a sense of warmth in the organs sick and he was perfectly healed instantly.
When facing the death penalty for refusing to worship idols, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego surrender to God. They say that even if God did not save them, they still would not worship idols set up by King Nebuchadnezzar. In the end, God help them. Submissive attitude they in turn make the king Nebuchadnezzar witnessed the power of God and turned to glorify His name.
Jesus taught us to pray, "Your will be done" (Matthew 6:10). Rolland Baker, a pastor, said that faith is not a matter of asking God to give us something we want. Instead, faith is to believe in God and to His will. Although it may differ from our desire, the will of God is good and perfect, exceeded our will. We do not know what will happen in the future, but God knows all. Let faith in Him! -Ann
