Luke 22:42

A New Testament verse from the Gethsemane account, collected in Chad’s Big Quote Book in its most-quoted form: “Not my will, but thine be done.” In that compilation it sits among a sequence of missionary and priesthood-service quotes (alongside Joseph B. Wirthlin on “Priesthood means service” and Brigham Young on trusting in the Lord), framing submission to God’s will as the posture of consecrated service.

Context: Luke 22:42 records Christ’s prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before the Crucifixion — “Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” In Latter-day Saint and broader Christian usage it is the canonical scriptural expression of submitting one’s own desires to God’s will.
