Spiritual submissiveness, a freely given obedience to God's purposes, is neither docility nor ignorant compliance. "As obedient children" (1 Peter 1:14) we are seeking to become more like our Heavenly Father. Yeilding to Him, therefore, indicates neither disdain for life nor fatalistic resignation. Instead it is progressive participation in a very demanding discipleship.
Not My Will, but Thine by Neal A. Maxwell. 2008. Deseret Book. p. 2
