Then I said,
"Here I am, I have come--it is written about me in the scroll. I desire
to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart."
I desire to do your will
Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
my God
Hebrews 10:5-7 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifices and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, 'Here I am--it is written about me in the scroll--I have come to do your will, my God.' " (Psalm 40:6-8)
your law is within my heart
Deuteronomy 6:6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
Job 22:22 "Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart."
Romans 7:21-25 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
