In the Garden of Gethsemane

IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed for you and me. Bowed in prayer upon His knees, God answered all His loving pleas. With a few disciples near He soon began to faint and fear. Anticipating certain death He labored with each weary breath. Suffering He would have to die while those He from would wonder why. Sweating even drops of blood great fear consumed Him as a flood. His disciples were asleep while His concern grew very deep. They awoke at His command. Their hour to pray was now at hand. How very seldom we reflect though we should try not to neglect, what took place that lonely day when Jesus prayed our fears away. He placed upon His cross our cares while to this day our sorrow bears. Desiring that we lean on Him He took away our every sin. Giving us fullness of life His love dispels our doubt and strife. Often with Him meditate, His blessings and your wondrous fate! Plead He will renew your heart. Now is the time that you should start. Reflect on His almighty power, in the suffering of the hour, when Jesus bid Satan to flee, that night within Gethsemane!
