The Cost was High - Watch and Pray

"Prayer is easy to us because of what it cost God to enable us to pray. It is the redemption of God, the agony of our Lord, that has made our salvation so easy and prayer so simple. When we emphasize the cost of prayer to us, we are wrong. The cost to us is nothing; it is a supreme and superb privilege marked by supernatural ease because of what it cost God."
-Oswald Chambers

What great a cost Jesus paid for us to have access to the Father!

As our Thursday nights, Thru the Bible Study recently brought us to Mark 14:32-42, Pastor Terry highlighted the agony Jesus experienced and yet His obedience to the Father's will. He was fully obedient to lay down His life. With this price paid, we now have the privilege to take part, as the disciples were instructed in this passage, to "watch and pray"(Colossians 4:2).

Remember this week, by His power, to be watchful of God working, prayful about His work, and then full of praise because of it. Unlike the disciples were found in Mark 14, don't be caught asleep! Instead watch and pray.
