Lent Journal 9 (Monday, April 15, 2019)

Then going out he went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. When he arrived at the place he said to them, “Pray that you may not undergo the test.” After withdrawing about a stone’s throw from them and kneeling, he prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” And to strengthen him an angel from heaven appeared to him. He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.
Luke 22:39-44

God, when I am afraid or find your plan challenging, help me to persevere, knowing that it is in doing your will that I will find true success.

Is there something God is calling you to that you are afraid of? How can you surrender yourself to God and trust in His plan for you?
