Pour out your Pain

SCRIPTURE
 
Luke 22:41-44
41        And He [Jesus] withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray,
42        saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."
43        Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
44        And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.
(NASB)
 
 
PRAYER
 
Lord, as ______’s heart feels the agony of her current lot, I ask that you would move her to pray her heart with great fervor. Turn her agony into pleadings. Give her freedom to bring her requests to you unashamedly, and yet melt her will into yours Lord. May she feel her agony, release her pain, and submit her will. And as she is in the midst of that agony Lord, I ask that you would bring an angel from heaven to her side to strengthen her so that she might walk the road you have set before her with dignity and grace. Amen.
 
 
ENCOURAGEMENT
It’s ok to feel your pain and pour out your agony in prayer. It’s ok.
