Jesus Prayed

While watching The Passion of the Christ last night I was astounded by Jesus praying. I have thought about this many times before but it always amazes me. In the Bible, this is not the only place that Jesus cries or prays it happens quite frequently, actually. Many people struggle to pray and to talk to God for many reasons, one being that they don’t know if praying is worth it or if it will be heard. Jesus is God, Jesus knows what will happen, but he still prays. That always stops me because if Jesus prays than what makes us any better to think that we don’t have to pray. What would make us think that we can do it on our own when Jesus prays and asks God to be with him and to help him. Luke 22:42 says “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” This prayer is Jesus’ prayer right before he is arrested. His prayer is saying that He knows what he has do but he does not really want to do it but if it is what God wants then He will do it. I know I have found myself in this kind of situation many times. It is hard to do what God wants sometimes and we may not always want to do it but it is important to remember that God has a plan for each and every one of us. We cannot always see or understand what God is doing and we may not ever understand. That is why we have prayer to talk to God about our lives so that he may help us through our hard times and our struggles and celebrate with us in the good times. We are called to try and be like Jesus and Jesus prayed to his father so even though it can be hard, prayer is necessary. The more that we pray the easier it becomes and the deeper we pray the closer we get to God.
