Name: Josh
Scripture: Luke 22: 39-62
"43An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."
OAP: That's some intense prayer, i tell you what. In light of what chad said, this journaling should be about how im different now from what ive read. Well prayer is for sure an area i need to work on, since most of the time i go through my day relying on my own strength and capability. My talks with God have become few and far between, jumbled and often interrupted by my own wandering mind. When i do pray out of anguish or despair, i dont pray more earnestly than usual, as Jesus did, but with less hope and interest. so my application for today is simple: pray more often and get more said with less words.
Teacher, teach me to pray. i realize im backsliding in this area of our relationship, just help me to find some footing and make slight forward motion. im not asking to have crazy prayer like Jesus did with angels and bloody sweat and all. just baby steps.
