“if it is possible let this cup pass from me.”
He later chastised his followers because, they could not sense the magnitude of the moment, and help carry any of his sorrow.
While He prayed - they slept.
This picture shows us, one of the harshest facts of life.
When you die, you will die alone.
Death is the one constants in living for God.
For he only uses broken and humbled vessels, so death must continually visit our lives.
In the natural when death visits your frame, the room may be full of friends and family, but you’ll face death alone.
In many of life’s situations, the death of a dream, a relationship, a friendship, a hope, you may be surrounded by many who love, care and feel for you, but you’ll have to face this death alone as
well.
“Can you not watch with me forone hour?”
I have often felt like shouting the same at those I love in my times of suffering. But if God has
allowed a death to enter your life, don’t charge those around you falsely. When you come out of your time of sorrow they will be there to share the joy of the resurrection.
Remember this fact; "when you die you will die alone."
Jesus said;” I will never leave you or forsake you”,
Only God can walk with you, in your time of sorrow, and He is always enough.

I wrote this in 2004 for the church bulletin ... little did I know the import of these words upon my life.
