Praying Like Jesus

I was feeling overwhelmed and overcome by stress as I woke up yesterday morning, so I kept humming the hymn of Love Lifted Me. After my daily devotion and prayer with my wife, the stress in my heart was still great and it almost crushed me. I was aware of the pressure partly deriving from the speech I would be making at a university. I went back to the room and prayed. As I came out of the room, I felt completely relieved. Later during my talk with the audience I wasn’t nervous at all.

This experience reminds me of the distressing hours as he prayed in Gethsemane in the face of the coming handover to the power of sinners. His soul was overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death (Mark 14:34). But he kept seeking the Father, taking the cup of suffering from him; yet not what he wanted, but what the Father wanted (v. 36). Three times he prayed to God; his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground (Luke, 22:44).

Do you pray like Jesus as he was in great anguish, he prayed even more fervently? Let’s keep praying until we have found peace in heart.
