How to pray in our own Gethsemanes
"And being in agony — He prayed more earnestly!" Luke 22:44
This is the record of our Savior's Gethsemane experience . Like a bright lamp, this Scripture shines amid the olive trees of that garden — to show us the path to comfort in our time of sorrow .
Never before nor since, has there been such grief as the Redeemer's that night — -but He found comfort in His prayer .
His agony lessened as He prayed, until at last its bitterness was all gone — and sweet, blessed peace took its place.
The 'gate of prayer' is one of comfort .
There is no other place for true comfort and help. We learn from our Lord's Gethsemane agony — how to pray in our own Gethsemanes .
God never blames us for asking to have the bitter cup removed, nor for the intensity of our prayers; but we must always pray with submission to His will.
When we sincerely pray, "Not my will, but may Your will be done" — comfort comes, and then peace .
