Here we have prayer.
Jesus is praying desperately. He needs strength. He is clearly suffering the full weight of the trial he is about to endure. The Father has given him a glimpse of what is to come, and he is in agony. So he prays.
The disciples are in sorrow, overcome with sleep. The world is in turmoil around them, and they are emotionally exhausted. They collapse in sleep, but Jesus awakens them to pray. They will pray a different prayer, but all the same, they will be in prayer.
As you go through this week, you will pass through different moments and different moods. For each of them, there is a prayer. They are not all the same prayer, but each can carry you through, from one moment to the next. God is with you. Jesus prays with you. Stay in prayer.
