In Our Gethsemane
“How is it I should pray?”
– In my distress I often say –
But He has shown me the way,
– In His Gethsemane…
It was the night on which He prayed
– for in His flesh He was afraid –
“Your Will be done”, he said.
He asked if we would stay
– An hour with Him and pray –
On this, His darkest day
– In His Gethsemane…
It was the night He was betrayed
– that was when He paid –
For the mess that we have made.
“Thy Will be done?” I say,
– Not an easy prayer to pray! –
But I TRUST that YOU WILL stay
– In MY Gethsemane.
(Holy Thursday – 1st April, 2021.)
Reflecting on disappointment – when God says “No, dear child!”
In the hour of our greatest need – in fear, worry, hurt, pain and disappointment – this is when we face the greatest temptation and when the devil prowls…
In the hour of our weakness, we need to TRUST HIM
– to stay awake, alert,
watch and pray…
May we watch and pray with our brothers and sisters and support them in one another’s Gethsemane.

Amen!
