The light shines brightest when it is dark. As the Church, we need to bring the light of hope to others, as Jesus commanded us. 

Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth and has commissioned the Church to advance His kingdom. May this message encourage us to obey His command to go and make disciples of all nations.

This is a prayer of trust that reflects willful submission to the hands of the Father. Let us come to God in full surrender to His will, just as Jesus prayed.

Jesus, in His pain and suffering, brought His honest emotions before God. Just like Jesus, we can come to God with our cries and unfiltered prayers, and know that He understands us.

Even when Jesus was at the height of His suffering, He prayed to the Father to forgive those who caused this affliction. Like Jesus, we can look to God for grace to release forgiveness and refuse to let pain affect our relationships with others.

Coming to God in prayer during difficult times is not a sign of weakness; it is asking Him for supernatural strength, trusting His plan over our situation.

The love that the Father has for Jesus is the same love that He wants us to experience daily. 

Like Jesus, let us continue to pray for unity among believers—that we may be one, just as He and the Father are one. 

We give glory to God when we live according to His word and ways. May we be encouraged to also strive for holiness, just as Jesus prayed for His disciples.

To glorify God means to value and acknowledge Him for who He is and what He has done for us.
