Greetings to all; on this "grateful" Thursday, let us thank God for the gift and opportunity to pray.
Because of the holiness and love of Jesus, it has never been His intention to tempt us or lead us into temptation. As Christians, prayer is not a duty or obligation. Prayer is the gateway to our call to live holy and devout lives, keeping us from temptation.
Luke 22:45–46 (GW)
45 When Jesus ended his prayer, he got up and went to the disciples. He found them asleep and overcome with sadness.
46 He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up, and pray that you will not be tempted.”
Lesson: We must understand that prayer is not just a duty but a personal connection with our loving God. It helps us to avoid the power of temptation and guides us into living the holy and devout lives we are called to live.
