Luke 22:44
And
being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great
drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Jesus was
agonizing the night before His crucifixion.
During this agony, he prayed more earnestly. We learn from Him that agonizing times call
for more earnest prayer. We must find a
place to pour out our hearts to the Lord; a place where we can cry out, weep
and perhaps even raise our voice in His presence. Agony is painful and agony can produce a
great sense of being drowned or suffocated.
Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus took His disciples with Him. In those times of agony, find a Garden of
Gethsemane. In those times of great
trepidation, take some friends who love you and the Lord with you. Pray more earnestly in order to get the
strength you may need for what is about to happen. Your will, will catch up to His when an
earnest prayer is made in the midst of agony.
