At His most desperate time, Jesus invited His closest disciples to stay near Him and to pray with Him. And they let him down. As Jesus faced His journey to the cross, although He appeared to stand alone, He was never abandoned by His Father. At times, You too may feel abandoned. Although we work for unity, sometimes others simply refuse to stay at the table, to continue the difficult conversation, to support us in our time of need. But we are never truly alone because God will never leave us. Jesus is with us when we stand alone from the crowd and stand firm for Him.
