*Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”*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.”*Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.*“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”*He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”*When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.*So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.*Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.*Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” - Matthew 26:38-46 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew26:38-46&version=NIV
Have you ever prayed like Jesus?
God has told you, you will suffer and your flesh becomes weak. Your heart pounds and you fall on your knees in prayer...."God take this cup from me, but not my will but Yours be done."
I know I have prayed and cried out to Jesus in my pain and when the troubles of the world beats upon me,
but God does not promise us health or wealth as the world sees it but treasures in heaven and a new ressurected body in the world to come.
Have you picked up your cross?
Are you following Jesus?
Even Jesus needed to pray and seek God's will. Even He asked for the cup of sorrow be passed from Him. However let us continue in His example and let God's will be done in our lives and not our own.
Dear Lord, we pray that you give us wisdom. Help us remain watchful with those who sorrow and seek always your will. Lord show us Your plan for our lives and help us learn to use the armour You have given us.
Help us place firmly upon our heads your helmet of salvation, knowing that we have been washed clean of our sins by the blood of the Lamb.
Place upon our heart your breastplate of righteousness. Give us faith to shield us from the arrows of our enemy. Shod our feet with Your gospel to run the race you have set before us and spread your living water to a thirsty dying world.
Lord help,us to weld your sword and cut the bondage of lies, deceit and sin from the lives of those we meet. God always help us remember that the prayers of Your people are powerful and that you bottle every year we cry. Let us then go out into the world and practice undeflied religion...let us feed your sheep and love one another. Jesus hear our prayers, amen.
