Jesus Prayed

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples,"Sit here while I go and pray over there." And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. Then He said to them,"My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me." He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed saying,"O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.          Matthew 26:36-39

Even though Jesus was about to be betrayed, He didn't hesitate to pray to His Father. And as Jesus prayed the disciples fell asleep, more than once. In v45 Jesus said to His disciples,"Are you still asleep and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. As believers of Christ, He would like for us to pray without ceasing. That means we should pray throughout the day, all through the night. Sometimes we can pray without making a sound because God knows our heart. He made us in the likeness of Himself and anything you make, you would know how to operate your creation. But God, is forever merciful that He gave us the choice to pray to Him; to praise Him. That He may draw near to us and we likewise may to draw near to Him.

The world belongs to God, and the fullness thereof, we are His workmanship. We should be willing to work alongside the Creator of all things. I have found it, to be a privilege, to pray to the Savior of the world, the One that gave His life that we may live eternally. Many times situations in life can be better if we only took some time out to pray. If you are sick pray; lonely or depressed pray! You want know if prayer works, if you don't take time out to pray. Almost like owning a vehicle, How do you know it want operate, if you never crank it up and driven? God want us to pray, also to have faith, that what we prayed for, we will receive when we pray in Jesus Name. Today, pray and allow faith to unlock the door!  Let us pray continually, constantly; passionately and most of all sincerely to God. Because I have found out personally, when I pray God answers, and when I send up praises to God, the blessings definitely comes down.
