When Jesus Christ submitted His human will to His divine will when He prayed at Gathsemane, He knew that His divine will coincides with God's divine will, and God's will is always the best. No matter how much He would have desired for the cup to be passed from Him, He knew - His Father's will was for Him to die for the sins of all mankind, the righteous sacrifice that can exchange for our passage to heaven.
Without Jesus' death, where will I be? Will I not submit my own will to His at all times out of the gratitude that He deserves? How can I insist on my will when I know His will is the best for me?
But..."Lord, you know the deepest desire of my heart, can it be in your will too, for me to have what I desire?"
Nonetheless, not my will, but thine be done. I submit to you, my Lord, 100%.
