Stay With Me!

He told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and watch with me." Mark 14:34

KEY THOUGHT: We desperately need the presence of friends who love and support us in our times of struggle and distress. Jesus needed these closest three followers -- Peter, James, and John to be there with him and help him bear his burdens. So often, we don't ask for help when we need it. In addition, we often forget to "stand with" those in need of support. Jesus' honesty in his moment of anguish is a powerful reminder that we need to do both!

Live One Day At A Time...

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:34

Today's Prayer: 1 Thessalonian 5:16:18

16 Always be joyful. 17 Keep on praying. 18 No matter what happens, always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Joyful : Rejoice Always!

Praying : Pray without ceasing and maintain the good habit of frequent prayers.

Thankful : In everything, give thanks. We should be thankful in every condition.

O'God, Answer My Prayer!

Psalms 69:13-16

13 But I keep right on praying to you, LORD, hoping this is the time you will show me favor. In your unfailing love, O God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. 14 Pull me out of the mud; don't let me sink any deeper! Rescue me from those who hate me, and pull me from these deep waters. 15 Don't let the floods overwhelm me, or the deep waters swallow me, or the pit of death devour me. 16 Answer my prayers, O LORD, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Turn and take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful.

You're Not Alone..

Matthew 18:20

Jesus said that "where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them".


We need Jesus in our midst, so we need to pray together with other believers.
