Scripture Union Daily Guide 30th March 2026 – Outline
As the hour of His betrayal drew nearer, Jesus went with His disciples to a place where He prayed regularly. Note the instruction He gave them in Luke 22:40. Compare with Luke 22:45-46. What does it tell you? Temptations are a reality of life, but we can overcome them when we follow Jesus’ advice in Luke 22:40,46 (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:13). Like Jesus our Lord, instead of worrying and panicking, let us learn to turn to God in prayer, in the moment of temptations.
What lesson do you learn from Luke 22:41? Surrendering our will to God shows our trust in Him and our commitment to His cause. Luke 22:43 is very refreshing. However, Luke 22:44 shows the intensity of the agony that Jesus was going through as He prayed and surrendered His will to the Father. Consider the action of the disciples and that of Jesus in Luke 22:49-51. The Christian’s battle has never been a physical one as the disciples thought (2 Corinthians 10:3; Ephesians 6:12). The times we are in require that we intensify our prayers and depend more on God for victory over every challenge that may come our way. How is your prayer life?
