Jesus was sorrowful and deeply distressed, knowing what He was about to face, and Scripture tells us, that, “He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.” But fully aware of what He was asking, He again fell down and prayed a second time, “Oh my Father, if this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, Your will be done. Matthew 26

My brothers and sisters in Christ, you may have found yourself in a situation that you wished was not your cross to bear, and you may have asked God to take this burden away from you, and you may have not received the answer you expected to your prayer. But understand this, some crosses are ours to bear, so that His will may be done on earth. So today, know that what you and I are going through did not come to stay, but it came to pass, so that God’s will for your life and mine may be done. To God be the glory!
