Matthew 26:36-46 (ESV)

It is only in my understanding of the comprehensive obedience of Jesus--in the midst of complete agony and despair--that I can fully embrace the nature of faithfulness in the pressures of my life. Only Christ's steadfastness leads me into a life of obedience to my the will of my Father.

Table Talk: 1. What pressures in my life push against my faithfulness to what God has for me? 2. How is God moving me to trust more in His Spirit to empower obedience in the midst of such pressures?
