TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Mark 14:37–42 - [37] And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? [38] Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [39] And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. [40] And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. [41] And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. [42] Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.” (ESV)

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, and welcome to the morning mindset. This is our opportunity to get our minds
0:11.0	minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. Friends, do you know about those times in life
0:16.9	when you with the best of intentions want to do something good. But just in your humanity,
0:23.7	you just seem to be totally unable to pull it off. And I think we've all been there. Today,
0:28.8	we're going to get our minds aligned with the truth of God's word by looking at a circumstance
0:33.5	that looks very similar to what I just described.
0:43.0	We're going to be looking at Mark chapter 14 versus 37 through 42, so get out your Bibles or your morning mindset journals.
0:45.4	I would love, first of all, though, to recognize today's daily sponsor.
0:49.8	We have a morning mindset listener from Ohio named David, who is sponsoring today's episode of the morning mindset.
0:56.6	David listens every day and has been supporting the morning mindset for some time by being a daily sponsor once a month.
1:03.3	Friends, if you would like to be a daily sponsor, like David, you can do so in your name anonymously.
1:09.1	You can even sponsor an episode in memory of someone. So go to

1:29.6	today through prayer. Lord, please guide us and give us your insight today. As we think about
1:35.9	the passage we're going to read, you can guide our thoughts, to think your thoughts, to understand
1:41.7	what you're saying through the passage, and to illuminate us in ways
1:44.9	we cannot do on our own, so we trust you for that. We ask it in Jesus' name, amen. Okay, friends,
1:51.8	now to set up the context a little bit, Jesus has already revealed to his disciples that he is going
1:56.8	to be struck down. He's going to suffer. He's going to be arrested. They know all of that.
2:01.6	But they're kind of in a state of denial. And so he has taken them out to a place called Githeminine.
