Wow!!! The power of prayer!!! As I read in Matt. 26:36-44… It really let’s me know that Jesus had fear… But what he did in that time of great fear.. HE PRAYED.. That’s right .. The God-man had fear.. Not only did he pray once, he prayed three times.. He even requested the prayer support from his friends.. Jesus faced his ultimate fear.. With prayer.. Before he faced his fears, he faced his Father.. He was Deathly afraid, and what he did with his fear, shows us what to do with ours… But we complicate things don’t we? We prescribe words for prayer, places for prayer, clothing for prayer, postures for prayer, durations for prayer, the list goes on and on.. Just pray already!! Geesh!! You don’t have to be the best silver tongued saint in the sanctuary… Jesus prayer in the garden was the prayer of a child seeking his Father.. And anyone can pray from the same perspective … Do what Jesus did.. We ask God to take this cup away, the cup of disease, betrayal, joblessness , conflict , hate, partiality , the list goes on.. Fight those dragons in Getsemanes garden, talk to God about them.. Be specific.. Pull back the curtains and expose those fears, call them out in prayer!! Force those fears in prayer to face a Holy God!! Our problems have always been his possibilities !! God is still on the throne!! He’s still there!! And not going anywhere!! Equip yourself with the armor of God through prayer.. Don’t face your fears like a poorly armored soldier.. Prayer is the practice of spending time with The Lord … If you don’t have time.. Make time.. That is all
