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.”
~ Matthew 26:39
Jesus knows the will of his Father yet he still asks for relief from the suffering he is about to endure. In the same breath, however, Jesus accepts his Father's will over his own.
What a stunning model for us as we go through trails and pain. What an amazing example of endurance.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your example of endurance. It gives me hope and confidence that I can endure my own difficult circumstances with your help.
Amen.
