Personal prayer cycle · Day 29 of 31 · Matthew 26:36–46
Read Matthew 26:36–46 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.
In Gethsemane, Jesus brings anguish to the Father and asks his friends to stay near. We can pray honestly when a good path is costly. We can also become companions who remain with others when their suffering is inconvenient or difficult to understand.
Bring it to prayer
Who needs someone to stay close through a hard time?
One act of faith
Offer a specific, realistic way to accompany them.
