SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you.)
And He (Jesus) went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will but as I will but as Thou wilt.” (Matthew 26:38 NAS)
OBSERVATION:
This verse is from the Passion story when Jesus prays in the garden of Gethsemane. This directly follows the institution of the Lord Supper and is followed by the arrest of Jesus.
APPLICATION:
The depth of Jesus’ emotions is clearly demonstrated in this verse and passage. It has always struck me that the Lord and Savior (the Only Begotten Son) would pray this prayer. What it demonstrates to me is that we are to take everything to God in prayer. The important part of the prayer is very important. We should always pray for the Lord’s will not ours.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for hearing all of my prayers. Teach me to trust in your will for my life and not just on my desires.
YEILD:
I yield my will to the Lord.
