You cannot stockpile grace

Disciples cannot stockpile…grace and strength beforehand but must learn from Jesus’ own example of prayer on the Mount of Olives that they are dependent on God from hour to hour. When they become aware of that, they will be more likely to pray than to talk big and be less likely to swoon in a crisis.
