Today's Message is titled: "Facing Stress Like Jesus Did"

We often forget that Jesus knows what it is like to be in great anguish.

We often forget that Jesus knows what it is like to pray for a certain answer and instead of yes, the answer is no.

We often forget that Jesus knows what we are going through when we go through times of great stress and troubles.

He knows, because He’s been there.

And by Him having gone through it he shows us how we also need to go through the times of anguish and stress and the no’s of prayer that come our way.

One of the lessons of Jesus praying on the Mount of Olives before His crucifixion is about dealing with times of great trouble and stress.

Through the prayer of Jesus, we find an example of what believer’s should do in times of trouble and stress and when God answers “no" to our prayers.
