Luke 22:44
"He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.]"
God as man, I think sometimes we think God does not know our pain but He was Son of man in the flesh. We each have our daily struggles, Jesus was in agony for these struggles. Do you ever stop and think, what was Jesus thinking about when he was in the garden?
We need to slow down and realize that God has already conquered our battles, He has fought the fight for us. We must let go and let God. His prayer is that you hear Him and listen to Him. Stop and think of your actions, do they grow the kingdom of God or so they diminish the kingdom. I know I need to slow down and realize that my actions have real consequences.
Lord God, You know us intimately like no one else. Speak to our hearts with Your word. May we realize that the tongue has tremendous power, may we use it to build up, may we use it to honor and praise you. In the garden you saw the pain we were causing to your Kingdom, may we see what you saw and help us forgive and forget. I ask this in the name above every other name, Jesus Christ, amen.
