     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 26:39

     Two days in a row, same message different location, the Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  Jesus was distressed.  Think if you were guilty and knew you had to die, much less if you were innocent and had to die, two different extremes.  Jesus said that the Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
     If life gets tough, and it will, look to Jesus and what He went through.  Jesus didn't want to die but knew he had to, for our sins.  God sent Him for this purpose.  He loves us and always has hope for us.  Tell God you love Him.

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
