There are moments in life when no one sees our struggle. Silent battles filled with fears, doubts, and tears, we hide from everyone.
It was in a moment like this that Jesus found Himself in Gethsemane.
There, He showed us something powerful: God does not ask us to pretend to be strong; He invites us to pour out our hearts before Him.
The Bible says, “And He knelt down and prayed…” (Luke 22:41)
Jesus, God’s own Son, fell to His knees. He didn’t run away, He didn’t fake strength, He didn’t hide His anguish. He prayed. And in that place of deep sorrow, the Father sent Him strength.
The greatest transformations happen when we stop fighting alone and bring our pain to God. It’s in the moment when you open your heart and whisper, “Father, I need You,” that God finds room to act.
Perhaps today you are living through your own Gethsemane, a season no one understands, a weight no one sees. But right there, in that exact place, God is waiting for you.
He never rejects an honest heart. He never ignores a sincere prayer. He never turns away from someone who seeks Him in the middle of their struggle.
Drawing closer to God doesn’t start with perfection; it begins with surrender.
When you kneel before Him, even if only in your heart, He will lift you with a strength that comes not from you, but from Him.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
