Mark 1432-40 

• 32And they came to a place which was named
  Gethsemane and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye
  here, while I shall pray.
•  33And he taketh with him Peter and James and
  John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very
  heavy
•  34And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding
  sorrowful unto death tarry ye here, and watch.
•  35And he went forward a little, and fell on the
  ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the
  hour might pass from him.
•  36And he said, Abba, Father, all things are
  possible unto thee take away this cup from me
  nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

Mark 1432-40 

•  37And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and
  saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest
  not thou watch one hour?
•  38Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into
  temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the
  flesh is weak.
•  39And again he went away, and prayed, and spake
  the same words.
•  40And when he returned, he found them asleep
  again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist
  they what to answer him.

Tarry ye here and watch

• What was Jesus saying here?
• Did he want them to guard him?
• Of course not! Remember, He is God.
• Jesus was saying, This is a difficult time for
  me. I want YOU with me! or YOU are important
  to me. I like having YOU near.
• Remember, Jesus knew that He was going to be
  crucified. He wanted to spend as much time as he
  could with his friends. It is the same today!

Jesus Wants To Spend Time With YOU!

• Luke 1038-42 (King James Version)
•  38Now it came to pass, as they went, that he
  entered into a certain village and a certain
  woman named Martha received him into her house.
•  39And she had a sister called Mary, which also
  sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
•  40But Martha was cumbered about much serving,
  and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not
  care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
  bid her therefore that she help me.
•  41And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha,
  Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many
  things
•  42But one thing is needful and Mary hath chosen
  that good part, which shall not be taken away
  from her.

How do we spend time with Jesus today?

• Prayer!
• Prayer is one of the most direct ways to spend
  time with Jesus.
• When we pray in our prayer language He is
  speaking to and through us. The PERFECT prayer
  for us!
• Praise Worship!
• When we praise God, we are speaking to Him.
• When we spend time in worship, we are literally
  communing with God

How often should we pray?

• 1 Thessalonians 516-18 
• (King James Version)
•  16Rejoice evermore.
•  17Pray without ceasing.
•  18In every thing give thanks for this is the
  will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Where else can you add time with God?

• What does YOUR chart look like when you fill in
  time spent with God?
• Ideas
• We could get up early and pray in the morning
  before work and spend more time on Saturday.
• We could pray in the car on the way to work.
• We could spend a little time praying at our lunch
  time.
• We could pray on our drive home from work.
• We could pray after we put the kids down or
  before we go to bed ourselves.
