We Walk with Christ: Ninth Station

Jesus Falls the Third Time

 

Once again...Do not stay down in the dirt, beaten and alone. 

If you must, call a friend for comfort...

If you must, seek counseling for your marriage...

If you must, seek medical help for your depression...

If you must, seek tutoring help for your child...

If you must, seek a better paying job...

If you must, seek a job that does not pay as well but is more self-fulfilling...

If you must, seek a second opinion for a medical condition...

If you are facing a trial in life, pray the words of Christ:  "Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done." ~ Luke 22:42

If you are not carrying a heavy cross at this time, pray "that you may not undergo the test." ~ Luke 22:40. 

Because you must, pray this prayer for your enemies: "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do." ~ Luke 23:34

Because you must, pray for non-Christians:  "I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one.  They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.  Consecrate them in the truth."  ~ John 17:15-17

 

But whatever you do, Rise!   Rise with Christ in faith.
