Gethsemane

Have you ever cried out to God from a place of despair and suffering? Have you ever gone to Him asking why? Why me? Please take this from me.
Jesus did.

 Have you ever felt that no one could possibly understand how much it hurts? That there is no one who could understand your pain and suffering?
                                 He knows how you feel. You are never alone. He was there.


 "They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."
  Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. "Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." "    Mark 14:32-36


He prayed knowing what was on the horizon for him. He cried out for deliverance. Knowing he could have stopped there and had angels sent to rescue him he did not. He instead said, "Your will, not mine, be done."

When you are hurting you are not alone. He has tread that path. When you are crying out to God you are not alone, He was on his face just like you. In the end Jesus gave control to his Father God because he knew His plan was good. His plan is good for you, trust in that.

Always remember that wherever you walk Jesus walks. You are never alone.
