We can never truly understand the agony and crushing distress Jesus experienced in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was a moment of profound solitude and spiritual anguish, where the weight of the world seemed to press down on Him. In His prayers, He sought strength and guidance, knowing the immense sacrifice that lay ahead. Yet, even in this moment of vulnerability, His resolve remained steadfast, driven by love and a deep sense of purpose. The garden, with its ancient olive trees, stood as silent witnesses to His struggle, a place where divine will and human frailty met. This scene reminds us of the power of faith and the grace that can be found even in our darkest hours, offering a profound lesson in resilience and compassion. https://youtu.be/hAb1nFRALnQ #GardenOfGethsemane #JesusDistressed #TakingOutSin #DailyDevotional #OswaldChambers www.PatrickRyanLewis.com Support the show Amazon StoreFront https://amzn.to/4gFUxsO PayPal https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon Wishlist https://amzn.to/3voCLbI Venmo / CashApp - PatrickRyanLewis https://www.youtube.com/@aguyandhisbible https://www.instagram.com/patrickandhisbible https://www.facebook.com/AGuyAndHisBible https://www.tiktok.com/@podcasterpat https://rumble.com/user/podcasterpat https://lordsbook.com/aguyandhisbible

Are you searching for hope in Christian recovery, struggling with a faith crisis, or doubting your Christian life? Join us in Sacred Sobriety: A Path for the Soul, where we dive into Oswald Chambers’ timeless devotional My Utmost for His Highest ("Holiness vs. Hardness") to uncover how intercessory prayer can transform hardness into holiness. This 30-minute video offers biblical insight, practical steps, and encouragement to help you deepen your faith and live a surrendered life in Christ (Galatians 2:20). What You’ll Discover: The difference between sentimental prayer and true intercessory prayer—and its impact on your spiritual journey. How losing focus on God in prayer can harden your heart toward Him and others. Simple, actionable ways to start praying for others, even amidst personal struggles. An anecdotal story of transformation through prayer, grounded in scripture. Reflective Questions to Ponder: Have your prayers ever felt more about you than God or others? What shifted in your faith as a result? Who in your life could use your prayers today? What’s one way you can begin interceding for them? When has someone else’s prayer made a difference for you? How did it shape your recovery or faith journey? We’d love to hear your answers—drop them in the comments and connect with our growing community!

Are you fully in tune with God’s calling on your life? Are you ready to say “send me” when He asks who He can send? In order to be so in tune with God, we must completely and totally abandon any sense of our selves. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5YUJN8E5dJPuOBHW9qxsUI?si=iWKASgSPS7K2FBffXNOY0A #OswaldChambers #MyUtmostForHisHighest #DailyDevotional Devotionals Used on the show The One Year Christian History https://a.co/d/bqAwGHq The Bible Recap https://a.co/d/eO6ot1Q Faith’s Checkbook (Charles Spurgeon) https://a.co/d/goAu5gx The One Year At His Feet Devotional https://a.co/d/dXX8Svn My Upmost For His Highest https://a.co/d/7BY0XYq 365 Bible Passages For You https://a.co/d/3DzxXhH Everyday Gospel https://a.co/d/6EMaSoa Preferred Rebinders Holy Bound https://bit.ly/4flkL3O Red Letter Rebinds https://bit.ly/3UNee9U Equipment used on show Microphone https://bit.ly/4bSqg7P Interface https://bhpho.to/3WXLI7m Mixed in Garageband and Audactity https://www.patrickryanlewis.com/ Support the show PayPal https://bit.ly/3TMgPRa Stripe https://bit.ly/3TL5j8F Amazon StoreFront https://amzn.to/4gFUxsO Amazon Wishlist https://amzn.to/3voCLbI Venmo / CashApp - PatrickRyanLewis

from the evening devotional I just finished... It is a little annoying when things like this fall into my devotions right after I make a decision God has been telling me to make lol #OswaldChambers #EveningDevotion

Our attention should always and only be on the process God is working through us, it should never be on the outcome we desire. If we trust God through the process, we have confidence and faith that the outcome will be precisely what He wants. www.PatrickRyanlewis.com #OswaldChambers #dailydevotion

Our aim should consistently be to align with the will of God, rather than simply following the cause of God. These two concepts are distinct, yet frequently muddled. Causes may fade over time, leading us to swiftly move on to the next popular trend based on personal motives and convictions. By remaining rooted in Christ, we can concentrate solely on what God desires for us, eliminating our own self-interest from the equation. #OswaldChambers #DailyDevotional #GodsWill #BibleDevotional
