The Holiest of Weeks


     You have been there. On your knees, praying for a miracle. Crying with grief. No answers. Turning to God for help, for mercy. Even Jesus, the Creator of all, asked for His agony to be removed. He understands whatever you are going through right now. Jesus took His friends to the Garden of Gethsemane with Him. It was a quiet place to pray. The following Words are difficult to read.



“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” He said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”  Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if possible, the hour might pass from Him.  “Abba, Father,” He said, “everything is possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”  Mark 14:34-36



     The disciples fell asleep. And when Jesus was arrested, they fled. Do you run from God when trouble comes? Or do you stay awake and pray to your Father in heaven? He agonizes with you. He never sleeps and He will never leave you.



Jesus,

You understand our pain and the difficulties of this earth. Help us to run to You. You will see us through. You have been through it all and more. Thank You for the Words of the Bible.  Amen
