He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. When he reached the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not come into the time of trial "Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done. "Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial."
Luke 22:39-46
Gracious God, in humble surrender Jesus offered His life to you, kneeling in the Garden of Gethsemane, and with Him today, we humbly hold before you the complexities and painful turmoil of our lives and of the world today. Grant us strength for our journey and peace for our souls, that we may be fully present to You in our lives. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen
