Luke 22:40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”

This is a prayer that I should be praying more often than I do. Remind me, Lord, to pray this prayer!

Romans 2:4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

God is kind to me not only because He loves me, but because He wants me to repent and be closer to Him.

Luke 22:35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered.

I need reminded that the Lord provides all I need even when it appears inadequate. 

Luke 22:32 “But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

When I fall I need to repent and then encourage and provide hope to others when they fall. 

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

When I feel I should back down from the Gospel, may I remember that I should not be ashamed of it because of the power of God.

Luke 22:31-32 “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you…”

Praying for one another interrupts Satan’s attacks on each other. May I be a better intercessor!

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

A God who is a counselor, loving as a father, and the epitome of peace. . .who could ask for anything more? Thank You, Father!

John 1:10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

Do I recognize Jesus in my life? Or, do I attempt to ignore Him and go in my own sinful ways? Lord, may I follow You and recognize You working in my life!

Luke 22:25-26 Jesus said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that.”

As a leader I need to model the heart of a servant. Help me, Lord!

Luke 22:24 A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest.

May my goal be to become humble, not to become great.
