Message: “He Will Hold Me Fast” from Kevin Dibbley

This message is called, “He Will Hold Me Fast”. In Luke 22:31-46, we encounter Jesus’ excruciating struggle in prayer on the Mount of Olives for both himself and for the disciples. This is one of those passages where we see not only the importance of prayer in resisting temptation but the remarkable encouragement that Christ prays for His disciples effectually when the disciples fail at prayer miserably. Prayer is hard. In multiple ways, we often struggle to pray and if we were to pray in our own strength, we would definitely fail and fall into sin. Praise God that Jesus never fails to pray for us. As the only children’s song reminds us “We are weak but He is strong. Yes, Jesus loves me.” We are going to come together and be encouraged that the reason we can struggle on in prayer is because Christ is interceding for us from a position of strength. Are you struggling to pray? You aren’t alone. All believers struggle but take heart… Christ is pleading on your behalf. Every Christian needs to be reminded that Christ will never fail to uphold us in the very throne room of heaven! He will hold us fast!
