"Though betrayal, false accusations, torture, fatigue, slander, abandonment, and even crucifixion were imminent in His life, Jesus still wrestled in prayer outside of Jerusalem in Gethsemane. Yes, even in agony, Jesus prayed. Will we? What’s keeping us from praying?" -kww
"Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and He said, "Sit here while I go over there to pray." He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and He became anguished and distressed. He told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me. He went on a little farther and bowed with His face to the ground, praying, "My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from Me. Yet I want Your will to be done, not Mine." Matthew 26:36-39 NLT
So, i begin again to embrace prayer, regardless of what’s happening or about to happen in my life.
