Luke 22:39-46

39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
What a wonderful day to be able to post this scripture on Easter weekend. One of my favorite primary songs is "Love is spoken Here", I love the message, but when I heard it for the first time the part that states " I see my mother kneeling with our family each day, I hear the word she whispers as she bows her head to pray. Her plea to the Father quiets all my fears", I felt a little sad because when I think of my childhood I never saw my mother praying, I wondered if any body was praying for me. My next thought was that of other people that may not have felt any one was praying for them. Then the kindest, tender thought came to my mind filling my whole body with love, the spirit whispered to me "I prayed for You, I have prayed for everyone." The greatest prayer ever spoken was from our Savior Jesus Christ to our Heavenly Father for us. His plea was so deep and heartfelt that he bleed from every pore, it was hard for him but he didn't want to stop until everybody and everything was covered by his atonement, so everyone can feel as I did "I prayed for You!"
