JESUS SPIRIT GOT WEAK AND OUR SPIRIT WILL GET WEAK

Matthew 26:38-42 Jesus said, "My heart is full of Sorrow, to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me."  After walking a little further away from them, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed, " My father, if it is possible, do not give me this cup of suffering. But do what You want, not what I want. Then Jesus went back to His followers and found them asleep. He said to Peter, " you men could not stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake and pray strength against Temptation. The spirit wants to do what is right, but the body is weak."

This is the first time that I see Jesus in the flesh, although  He knew what His mission was; He also knew the horrible death He was about to face, "for us," who wants to crucify Him.  So, for a brief moment "Jesus was weak in Spirit and did not want to go through with this" He did not pray once to let this cup of suffering pass, He prayed twice.  Even,  Jesus spirit got weak, so it's ok if we get weak; but this is the time we do exactly what Jesus did, give it to God, pray to our Father.

Father, give us strength through the faith we have in Your  Son, who sacrificed Himself; so we could receive Grace, and forgiveness for our sins.  Jesus,  we are Your scattered flock; save us from the darkness of this world and the wolves in sheep clothing, and bring back those who have strayed away.   Father, nourish us with the Word until life becomes meaningful, and renew our hearts and Minds.  Father, it is not Your will that one of us should perish; so continue to work through us to draw the blind to You. Lord, teach Your followers how to be just and righteous to all; with no exception to who commit the wrong, and let us not sit amongst the wicked. Thank You, that Your loving heart yearns toward the meek, feeble, and timid, so You can rescue Your most unworthy servants.  Lord, thank You, for Your truth that gives us a gentle and kind hear; thank you for Your strength and courage that allow us to forgive our enemies, and thank You for Your forgiveness and Grace in Jesus name,  Amen
