JESUS UNDERSTANDS OUR FEARS BECAUSE HE DEALT WITH HIS OWN FEARS

Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.

This verse is the first time I saw the human side of Christ.  Matthew 26:39. And he went a little further — the Word says, He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, so that the apostles could still both see and hear him; and fell on his face — It seems he first knelt down, and then, as the passion of His soul increased, prostrated Himself on his face to the ground, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, That is, if it be consistent with the salvation of the world; let this cup Of bitterness and terror, pass from me — And it did pass from him soon; for when he cried unto God with strong cries and tears, he was heard in that which he feared,  God took away the terror and severity of that inward conflict.

Just like Jesus cried out to the Father, concerning His fears; we too can cry out in our times of fear, to be released.  God understands our fears, more than we do; this is why we must seek Him, in our time of troubles.  God will always keep His promise to us, but we must first ask Him with faith and He will answer us.

Father, thank You for the sacrifice of Your only Son, who died so we may live.  Lord, thank You for overcoming this world so that we could have peace; so do not let our hearts be troubled, and give us Christ-like strength and courage to trust in You.  Father, Your Word says “if we love You, we will obey You”; Lord, we do love You please fill us with the Holy Spirit, that will compel us to surrender to You and obey Your Word.  Father, thank You for justifying us through our faith in Christ; so we can be restored to You.  Lord, teach us that our sinful ways can only bring death; so give us a desire for the things of the Spirit so we may have life.  Lord, You are our Savior, because through You the barrier that separated us from the Father; was abolished in the flesh, on the cross.  So, Lord, help us make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit; through the studying of Your Word, prayer, worship, and praise.  Father, let us not be religious fanatics but inward changed men and women; who seek Your face, in all we do or say.  Father, keep Your hedge of protection around us, and cover us in the Blood from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet, in Jesus name Amen
