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.’ “
I cannot think of a time when I have enjoyed going through a trial, heartache, or difficult situations. Yet, God has always made a way when everything seemed hopeless.
The headaches and trials that I face are nothing compared to what you faced to save me from eternal death. You took the beating I deserved, the ridicule I deserved, and finally You took the death I deserved. Because of what You did I get to live free and forgiven.
Father help me when I face challenges in life to remember that You faced ridicule, embarrassment, shame, and death so I don’t have to face these things alone. There are times when nothing in this life seems fair and I have questions then, you gently whisper something to my soul that eases my heartache and pain. You continually remind me of Your love for me through Your Word and the people You put in my life. Thank you for loving me and reminding me that I get to live free because of You. Guide me today LORD and keep me in Your will. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
