Jesus falls the second time

To the three disciples Jesus said, ‘My soul is crushed by sorrow to the point of death; stay here and watch with me.’  And going on a little further, he fell to the ground and prayed.

Thought

The very effort to continue is Jesus’ prayer now, his ebbing strength a silent cry to his Father.

Prayer

Lord, my mistakes weigh heavily upon me – and yet how often I repeat them. Strengthen me to watch with you, and make the right decision each moment of each day.
