Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”Matthew 26:36
Lord, before the cross of Calvary Christ made the Gethsemane prayer, because there he would prepare himself for the great moment and save my life. I am grateful for this great gift that came into the world to take me from the world of perdition to salvation. So I cling to the cross of Christ, not materially, but spiritually, taking possession of his blessings.

Anyone who believes in you and understands the reason and motives for which Jesus died will have their life transformed. Although there is no way to understand such great love, it is possible to feel it when you allow it to act in your life. My life was one thing, now it is another after I gave my life to the Lord.
Take care of me, hear this prayer of Gethsemane and help me to be firm in the promises of Jesus. He prayed to the Lord and I want to pray too. If he is steadfast until the end then I want to be steadfast too. As Christ was perfect, living perfectly until the end, I also want to follow his example even if I am never perfect. But I want to imitate him because in him is the path of life and eternal hope..
My God, come and be present in my life, may I feel your daily support just as Christ was supported. Although the darkness was very great over him, he was steadfast until the end. My Savior was tempted in proportion to His eternal character. He knew the difficulty I would go through, but he still loved me until the end. So take my life, help me to give it as a living sacrifice to the Lord.

Just as Christ died on the cross, I want to crucify my old self. So my life will be resurrected in Christ to a new direction, have a new life. May your hope already light up in my heart and may I feel your guidance and beloved protection helping me in preparation. In this way I will have my spiritual experience every day, that of following the Lord even in the face of the greatest difficulties.
How good it is to follow in the footsteps of my master, seeking you with this prayer of Gethsemane. Christ shed bloody sweat due to the enormous stress he was going through before being crucified. I know the enemy was at that moment pressuring him to give up. But he asked that your will be done, so he stood up and was ready to die for those he created.
Now I have life because of this, such an immense gift that came down from heaven to save me. How a love like this can exist, I don't understand, but I feel it in my life. Fill me with your peace, give me strength and bring me closer to the Lord..
I know that the Lord is listening to my prayer in Gethsemane, because He heard Christ's prayer. Though I am imperfect I cling to the perfection of the cross. For my master, the prince of peace, the lion of Judah, the alpha and the omega, the lamb of God, Immanuel, the prince of peace, the ruler of the kings of the earth, was there to save my life.
Accept this prayer, my God, in the name of Jesus. Amen!
