prayer support

Matt 26:36
36 Then Jesus went with them to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and he said, “Sit here while I go over there to pray.”

What was Jesus expecting from the “inner circle” disciples he brought with him while he wrestled with the devil in prayer? I think he expected them to lift him up in prayer while he prayed, like Aaron and Hur holding Mose’s arm up when Israelites were fighting the Amelikites (Exodus 17). If Jesus himself desires the prayer support of his disciples, we are wise to do the same.

Pray for the leaders within your church community.
