Dependance on God is the only place for us sinners. I think this is such an amazing picture of Christ's relationship with his Father and such a perfect model for us. When I think of times when my own prayer life is really strong it is usually when I am in great need or struggling with something that I am compelled to go to Him often and wait for Him. I pray that God will cause us to be in that place spiritually, see our need for grace at all times and depend on Him for all things.
As, I read this verse I am not only thinking physically but more so spiritually. As sinners there are often times of not "feeling" like we are close to God or that we have somehow moved ourselves away from his tender mercies. When those thoughts come I quickly remind myself of where I stand in grace and realize that Jesus prayer for me is that I am where He is. Knowing that Jesus is committed to growth and relationship to God and it is His prayer that is prevailing to sanctify me and transform me. Christians, we are as close as we can be to God at all times and will never move from that position of grace. Be joyful and praise God.
And He went a little farther, and fell on His face, and prayed. — Matthew 26:39

Praise God for His grace and perfect will in our lives! This past week, I was struggling a lot and God was so faithful to show me that He is there and will always be. I realize I do need to depend on Him for everything, and not becoming weary. Isaiah 40: 28-31 says;
"28: Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth
Does not become weary or tired
His understanding is inscrutable.
29: He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.
30: Though youths grow weary and tired,
And vigorous young men stumble badly,
31: Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."
I am so encouraged to wait upon Him and depend on Him. He is so faithful and such a Sovereign God full of love for His children!
