Then we must learn the lesson of Gethsamane. Nothing was wrong with Jesus faith when he prayed, Father, if it be possible, remove this cup from me. But the cup of suffering was still pressed to his lips. You see, he had also prayed, not my will, but thine be done. Jesus prayer did not change that will, but through it he found strength to walk even up Calvary's hill to the cross.
Prayer changes things, the saying goes.
Sometimes in amazing ways, it does. But more often and in some ways maybe more amazing are the times God uses prayer to change the pray-er and grants the strength to walk in that will even under the weight of the cross. In that answer, too, we see the hand of God. His new book, How to Measure a Rainbow will be released this spring. But after working at home a day or two recently, I ve come to some conclusions particularly regarding TV commercials.
