Jesus understands our sorrow and suffering. His emotions match
ours in intensity, in fear, and finally, in obedience. As He moves away from
everyone into the Garden of Gethsemane, He is in anguish. Listen to His words
and feel the pain.
“Father,
if you are willing, take this cup from Me, yet not My will but Yours be done.”
An angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him. And being in anguish, He prayed more
earnestly and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. Luke
22:42-44
In suffering, we
too, pray more earnestly. We beg. We cry. We moan. We ask God to remove the
depth of sorrow. Jesus and His angels are right by our side, coming to our
rescue. We find hope in Him and no one else. Jesus, in His anguish, knows what
He has to do and He will do it. He did it for you and for me.
Lord,
You know where we are right now, this very minute. Comfort our
hearts and minds as we give it all to You. Grant us hope and peace throughout
our lives until we are by Your side.
Amen
