Summary

We're on Day 4. This is the time where Jesus together with His disciples partake on the Last Supper. It is also the same time when Jesus got betrayed by Judas, was denied by Peter, got deserted by the other disciples and was ridiculed, spit, slapped by the people. The word betrayal strikes me the most, as it's comparable to the times when we turn our back to God. Times that we don't believe His ways, that we give in to our temptations and disobey Him. The verse in Matthew 26:41, is a great reminder to be mindful on where our focus should be and to keep on our faith. Especially on days when  our focus is not on Him. As Jesus said, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. May we all receive more of His grace that we may all grow more in Faith, more of Him in our lives. Then verse 42 is picture of great courage and faith of following what the Father wants in our lives. And as for Jesus, even if it meant to be His life.  Similarly in our lives, may we have that courage to do full submission and give our Father the full control over every situation where are in, most especially those that we no longer understand. O God, the Father, may our lives be live always in accordance to Your will. Help and teach us to remain faithful as a symbol of our full trust and love for You. God bless you, always. :)
