Beloved of All
"The reason why He was here in Gethsemane; why He was to drink this dreadful cup of suffering- the memory of all the sin of man! To drink this cup of a suffering, measureless, inconceivable, the Redeemer for a moment shrank back, and asked the Father if the cross was the only means of gaining the glorious end in view - the saving the souls of unnumbered millions. Could not God in His unlimited power find another way of reconciliation? And yet beneath this awful agony, the intensity of which we are utterly incapable of grasping - beneath it there lay the intensest desire that His Father's wish and will should be done. That wish and will were in reality his own. The prayer was made and answered. It was not the Father's will that the cup should pass away, and the Son's will was entirely the same; it was answered by the gift of strength - strength from heaven being given to enable the Son to drink the cup of agony to its dregs"- Praise You Lord Holy is Your Name, amen.
 
Our Father that is in heaven , we come to you at this very moment in our lives , when we are in a place that feels dark and devoid of your love , , but heavenly Father we know that this is just the devil's ways of trying to turn us from your love , We humble ourselves before you knowing that you have never left us , , but have carried us through this pain and loneliness we are feeling , you are closer to us now in our hour of need then ever before in our lives , we need only call and you are there ready to help and forgive , so Jesus we call on you today and place our troubles and our bodies before your throne as a living witness of our love and trust in you , we ask only that your will be done in our lives , help us to understand when things don't go the way we want them to in the prayers we pray ,, show us that your way is the best way , and give us peace with that knowledge , in the darkest of times let us feel your mighty arms as they draw us to you for safe keeping , , IN Jesus name we ask , Amen
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
