Do You Have Your “Mount of Olives” Where You Go to Pray?

In the final hours before His crucifixion, Jesus left the upper room and walked to the Mount of Olives.

The Living Bible records that this was no random choice: “And He came out and went, as was His custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him” (Luke 22:39, TLB).

There, in the Garden of Gethsemane, He fell on His face and prayed with such intensity that His sweat became like great drops of blood: “Father, if You are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from Me. Yet I want Your will, not Mine” (Luke 22:42, TLB).

Even the Son of God maintained a designated place of prayer.

If Jesus needed a Mount of Olives, how much more do we?

In a world filled with noise, deadlines, and endless distractions, a personal place of retreat is not optional for the believer—it is essential. It may be a quiet chair in the corner of a room, a park bench at dawn, the driver’s seat of a parked car, or a favorite spot under a tree. The location matters far less than the habit. What matters is that you go there regularly, as Jesus did, to meet with the Father.

Scripture commands us to “pray all the time. Ask God for anything in line with the Holy Spirit’s wishes. Plead with Him, reminding Him of your needs, and keep praying earnestly for all Christians everywhere” (Ephesians 6:18, TLB).

A dedicated place helps turn that command into daily reality. There, away from interruptions, we confess sin, pour out burdens, seek wisdom, and listen for the still, small voice of God. It is on our personal Mount of Olives that the mind of Christ is formed in us and the strength for tomorrow’s trials is received.

As an 85-year-old Vietnam veteran who has walked with the Lord through war, loss, and long years of life, I can testify that my Mount of Olives has been a lifeline. In that quiet place I have found the peace that surpasses understanding, the courage to face another day, and the fresh reminder that the Savior who prayed on that ancient mount still lives and intercedes for me.

Do you have yours?

If not, choose one today.

Make it your custom.

God is already waiting there.

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

²Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

³Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

⁴Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

⁵Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

^{6 H}e established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

If you don’t want to get your Bible, Here they all are, just click on each Chapter and I will read them to you:

Chapter 9 in Proverbs for today: (NOVEMBER 9 (MT) (ESV)

9 Wisdom has built her house;
    she has hewn her seven pillars.
²She has slaughtered her beasts; she has mixed her wine;
    she has also set her table.
³She has sent out her young women to call
    from the highest places in the town,
⁴“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    To him who lacks sense she says,
⁵“Come, eat of my bread
    and drink of the wine I have mixed.
⁶Leave your simple ways,^[a] and live,
    and walk in the way of insight.”

⁷Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse,
    and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.
⁸Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you;
    reprove a wise man, and he will love you.
⁹Give instruction^[b] to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
    teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
¹⁰The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
    and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
¹¹For by me your days will be multiplied,
    and years will be added to your life.
¹²If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
    if you scoff, you alone will bear it.

The Way of Folly

¹³The woman Folly is loud;
    she is seductive^[c] and knows nothing.
¹⁴She sits at the door of her house;
    she takes a seat on the highest places of the town,
¹⁵calling to those who pass by,
    who are going straight on their way,
¹⁶“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!”
    And to him who lacks sense she says,
¹⁷“Stolen water is sweet,
    and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”
¹⁸But he does not know that the dead^[d] are there,
    that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

CHAPTER 35 ISAIAH for today:

(NOVEMBER 9 (RF) ESV)

35 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
    the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;
²it shall blossom abundantly
    and rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
    the majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
They shall see the glory of the Lord,
    the majesty of our God.

³Strengthen the weak hands,
    and make firm the feeble knees.
⁴Say to those who have an anxious heart,
    “Be strong; fear not!
Behold, your God
    will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
    He will come and save you.”

⁵Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
    and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
⁶then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
    and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
For waters break forth in the wilderness,
    and streams in the desert;
⁷the burning sand shall become a pool,
    and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down,
    the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

⁸And a highway shall be there,
    and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;
the unclean shall not pass over it.
    It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
    even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.^[a]
⁹No lion shall be there,
    nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
    but the redeemed shall walk there.
¹⁰And the ransomed of the Lord shall return
    and come to Zion with singing;
everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
    they shall obtain gladness and joy,
    and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35:8 Or if they are fools, they shall not wander in it

Revelation 5

for today: (NOVEMBER 9 (NN) ESV)

5 Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. ²And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” ³And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, ⁴and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. ⁵And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

⁶And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. ⁷And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne. ⁸And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹And they sang a new song, saying,

“Worthy are you to take the scroll
    and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
    from every tribe and language and people and nation,
¹⁰and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
    and they shall reign on the earth.”

¹¹Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, ¹²saying with a loud voice,

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”

¹³And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”

¹⁴And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

The Steps to Salvation:

> Repent: Repentance means that you are turning away from sin to turn to Christ. It does NOT mean that you will be perfect.

> Believe/Receive: Salvation is through Faith in Jesus and by the Grace of God. Believing means putting your Faith in Jesus and receiving forgiveness of sin.

>Walk in the Newness of Life: Jesus died so that we might live. We walk in the Newness of Life being Born Again by His Blood.
