You Can Make It!

"Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out: "Papa, Father, you can—can't you?—get me out of this. Take this cup away from me. But please, not what I want—what do you want?" Mark 14:35-36

I can't imagine what Jesus went through the night before He was crucified, knowing that the next day He would be humiliated, beaten, whipped, spit on, stripped and ultimately killed.

The Bible tells us that although He asked for another option, ultimately He trusted His Father, and surrendered to His will.

Whatever you are going through today, no matter how difficult or painful, I want to encourage you to remember the example that Jesus set for us. Maybe you can't see how you are going to make it and you want out! Well guess what, you can make it through anything! Your Father will make sure of it! You can trust Him.

So like it says in Joshua 1:9, "...be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
