MORNING PRAISE
by hbpoore
PRAISE REPOST FROM 2019
Could you imagine the opportunity to have prayed in the garden with Jesus and selectively provided your prayer list? How exceptional would it feel to be close to him as he laid your life struggles on the throne of God. Or to have felt the dampness of all your many tears bring nourishment to the Garden of Gethsemane’s olive trees. How fantastic this opportunity would have been, but it would not have altered that your presence would yet be insignificant. Christ’s humility that day to take on the sins of the entire world gave power to eternal victory!
Matthew 26:36-39 NKJV
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”
