BIBLE VERSE: ” And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.” —Mark 14:36
BIBLE THOUGHT: What an amazing statement form Jesus Christ Himself! As He entered into the Garden of Gethsemane. the weight of the whole world’s sin and the Cross before Him. He prays “take away this cup from me”, and while Jesus Himself could have avoided all the pain and pressure of the world’s sin says to God, “nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.” Lord help us to pattern our prayer after that! Make our requests known unto God, not our demands. And ending with “not my will but thy will be done. To pray this way gives us confidence that the Lord hears us. 1 John 5:14-15 says, ” And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayer may not change things for you, but it for sure changes you for things.
