Take it away


“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” – Luke 22: 42
SOMEONE once said that it’s not stress that gets us down, but the way that we carry it. True. Stress can crack us if it burdens our minds for too long, or if we turn to addictive sources for relief. One of the effects of stress can be to block the presence of God in your life. Jesus also knew “suffering” (of the most evil kind) and gave it to God to “take away”. So, whatever is getting you down today, set out to follow His example so that you focus your attention on Him and His glorious promises to heal you, to show you the right path and to be the light of your life.
