What would you do with an army of 48,000 angels? In Matthew 26, Jesus had access to exactly that — and he chose not to use it. Not because he was weak, but because he knew something greater was at stake.

A Prayer to Lay Down our Defenses by Christie Thomas
This week's episode digs into the Garden of Gethsemane and what it looks like to hold real power… and lay it down anyway. It's one of the most countercultural things Jesus ever did, and it has everything to say about how we face our own moments of vulnerability.
Reference: Matthew 26:53
Prayer: Father, help my children to remember that the power of heaven is backing them up, so they can choose to work for reconciliation without fear.

A Prayer to Receive the Father’s Discipline - Your Daily Prayer - May 16
Conviction, repentance, and discipline are all great gifts from our Father in heaven. He wants us to be honest with Him so that we can see real transformation happen in our lives, as He conforms us into the image of His Son.
