In the Gospels God has given us so much insight into the life and ministry of Jesus, but there is, perhaps, no scene in the Bible that is more revealing than the prayer of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this prayer we get to listen as Jesus pours out His sorrow-filled heart to the Father.

This prayer is a gift for many reasons, but in this message we are going to consider what we can learn from the way Jesus prayed.

  • How should we pray when we are overcome with sorrow?
  • How do we balance trust in God and asking for deliverance from suffering?
