Today’s Scripture 

“Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.”       

Matthew 26:36-44

Today’s Thought

What a lonely feeling it is when you go through great testing… Remember, finding someone to stand with you in your toughest season, and standing with those in theirs, is a must… When your soul is pressed to the limits, reaching out and being available to others when they reach out, is the key.

Today’s Confession 

Thank you Lord, that when I go through trials in my life, I have Godly people who stand with me. When I'm unable to utter a word, they stand in the gap for me and hold me up. When their soul is weary and they need someone to stand with them, I am there for them. We never stand alone, we hold each other up in prayer at all times.
