Matthew 26:36-46

Matthew 26:36-46

1. Let us learn that prayer is the best practical remedy that we can use in time of trouble.
2. Let us learn that entire submission of will to the will of God should be one of our chief aims in this world.
3. Let us learn that there is great weakness, even in true disciples of Christ, and that they have need to watch and pray against it.

"It ought never to be forgotten, that warm feelings and joyful frames are not the truest evidences of grace. A mortified will is a far more valuable possession."

"If we desire to walk with God comfortably, and not fall, like David or Peter, let us never forget to watch and pray. Let us live like men on enemy's ground, and be always on our guard. We cannot walk too carefully. We cannot be too jealous over our souls. The world is very ensnaring. The devil is very busy. Let our Lord's words ring in our ears daily like a trumpet. Our spirits may sometimes be very willing. But our flesh is always very weak. Then let us always watch and always pray."
