Therefore, if I decide in my heart to choose what is good and to obey GOD, then GOD will surely give me the strength and help I need to overcome sin. Now I realize that I will only see victory in my struggle against temptation to sin if I take it to the LORD in prayer.
The LORD Jesus gets the worst temptation while in prayer in Gethsemane, to either accept or reject the agony of death on a cross. It is by His intense prayer to the Father that the LORD Jesus overcomes His tempter in the struggle of His agony. Being true Man and true God, I see that the LORD Jesus has the power and the means to escape defeat and death at the hands of His enemies. Yet, He chooses the way of the cross for my sake and for my salvation. And I consider the ways in which I should face opposition, failure, trials and rejection. I must look to the LORD Jesus for strength to overcome adversity with faith, trial with hope, and rejection with love. I must follow the LORD Jesus to His favourite place of prayer in the Garden, to face such trial and testing. It is in prayer to His Father in heaven that He finds the strength to embrace …show more content…

There are times when I have likewise fallen physically asleep and failed to pray when I need prayer the most. Yet, I learn from the LORD that I must persist in prayer no matter what, because there will always be an angel sent from heaven to strengthen me. I ask Mary, she who knew how to pray until GOD’s Strength would be sent to her, to help me persist in prayer as she

His struggles became particularly evident when he witnessed the hanging of the pipel, what he saw that day rattled his faith to its core. Subsequently, he felt abandoned by his God, “What does Your grandeur mean, Master of the Universe, in the face of all this cowardice, this decay, and this misery?”(p.66), “Blessed be God’s name?

Within a world that has endured so much tragedy, and so many crippling hardships, people are often forced to consider how exactly they are going to handle the adversity that they are faced with.

Teach them to estimate the value of each prayer by its success in producing the desired feeling, and never let them suspect how much success or failure of that kind depends on whether they are well or ill, fresh or tired, at the moment" (Lewis, 16). The emotional rush that occurs when drawing near to the Holy Spirit is a feeling almost every Christian has experienced. New believers tend to use this feeling as their sole motivation for prayer, study, and worship.
