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,
YOUR will be done"--
(Luke 22:42)
comfort comes, and then peace.
