How many times have you been through a trial in your life that you asked God to completely remove it? Rather than go through it you plainly asked God to totally remove it so you wouldn’t have to deal with it? “OH GOD PLEASE TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!“ The storms of life truly get rough and we know God can remove them so why not? I am reminded of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane just before He went to the cross, He prayed to the Father these words: “Father if their be any other way let this cup pass from me, nevertheless not my will but thine be done.“ Jesus wanted His Disciples to pray but He found them sleeping. Jesus knew that the Spirit is strong but oh how weak the flesh is. Christ had come for that hour and no matter what was to come He wanted to please the Father in Heaven. How about you and me? God has us going through this storm for a reason and being removed from it may not teach us what God wants us to learn. God has a purpose in what He does in our lives and we can trust Him. Have you put your trust in Jesus today? He is waiting on your response to Him.
Oh God Let This Cup Pass:
