Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
~ Matthew 26:36-38
One of the things that strikes me about theses verses is that Jesus was open with his Father about his pain and sorrow. God wants us to do the same. I find it comforting that Jesus, fully God and fully man, went through difficult times. It means that he knows what I am going through.
Amazing! Jesus knows what I'm going through. Wow.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for going through so much. For me. It means so much to me to know that you understand my suffering. I'm overwhelmed by your love and devotion.
Amen.
