Jesus' emotional stability was the result of His faith in the Word of God & that faith was fortified by means of prayer. His emotional stability was cultivated by communion with His Father in prayer. A survey of the occasions when Jesus prays gives us insight into His trust in His Father. The apex of His prayerful trust in His Father was when He was on the cross. Here we especially learn from Jesus to weave the fabric of our prayers from the threads of Scripture & pray the Word of God to God. Jesus constantly taught his disciples how & what to pray. How desperately we need to learn this practical lession! What kind of people would we be were we to learn how to direct our emotions in prayer to our heavenly Father, to pour out our hearts before Him? like Jesus, to take the Psalms & make them the tracks upon which our cries to God travel? When Jesus calls us to be His disciple, He really is calling us to live & be like Him: the man of faith, the man of prayer, the man of the Word.
