Luke 22:44
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
In times of deep trouble you pray longer and harder. You don’t quit. It really is only in tough times that you discover if Jesus is the one you turn to. During good times or neutral days, it’s easy to get distracted.
Jesus faced all the anguish of all people all time and the whole rest of creation’s pain and he didn’t quit. We, who face so much less, why would we quit praying?
Pray for someone going through a great trial in life right now.
