Confront your INTERNAL ANQUISH 

“Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me”. Matthew 26:39a

41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” Luke 22:41-44

Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:16-20

Confront your EXTERNAL ASSOCIATES

“Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest” Matthew 26:45a

Confront your ETERNAL ASSIGNMENT

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

“When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.45 Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” Matthew 26:43-46

“Our battle with evil is easier than our battle to obey God”
