A Prayer that We as Humans Can Be Like Jesus When He Walked on this Earth School!

 

"O Jesus, we thank You that You have lived this human life of ours, and know all about it. You, too, are man. You were tempted in all points like as we are — and know all about temptation. You are able to sympathize with us, when we are struggling with the tempter. It is a comfort for us, to know that You understand all about our conflicts — and that we can cast ourselves upon Your sympathy. Help us today, O Jesus, to overcome in every temptation. Stand by us. Let us not sink away into the darkness of eternal death, in any hour of temptation. We are glad, too, that You know all about sorrow. You have touched every depth of human experience. There is no sorrow that is not known to You, and which You can not understand. Life has sorrows for us. Sometimes they are very keen. No human friend can quite understand them. Our loved ones want to help us — but cannot assuage our grief, nor can they give us true comfort. Earth has no sufficient consolation for us. So we turn to You, O Jesus, and ask You to help us in our sorrows. We want to bear them sweetly, without murmuring or complaining. We want to get the blessing which we know comes in every pain or suffering — but which so often Your children miss. We ask You to teach us how to suffer according to Your will. Give us the true comfort, which will enable us to endure quietly, whatever pain or trial we shall be called to endure. Help us to get the blessing in our sorrow. May we grow stronger and sweeter in every affliction. So may Your sympathy bless us, and may we be lifted up more and more fully into fellowship with You. We ask all in Your precious name, Jesus our Savior. Amen."

We often forget that God gave us Jesus, His son, as an example of how to live on this Earth School. He is God with us, Emmanuel! God created us in His image, Jesus too, He is the perfect example of love for all of us to follow as we go about living here. Today unfortunately, many do not want to follow Jesus or have a faith or practice a religion. Then we wonder why we have so many problems in this world. There is just too much sin, in these modern times, people do not take sin seriously as they should. There is so much greed, corruption, fraud, selfishness, and mediocrity. Just so much crime, violence, and hate. It is sad to see all this sin and evil. We need Jesus! We need to follow His example. I liked this prayer today found on the Mornings with God App today, like it says above, may we grow stronger and sweeter in every affliction. We need Jesus, we need to follow Him, He can give us true comfort! We need to reflect Jesus!  We need to walk like Jesus did when He was here on this Earth!
