One Last Prayer
Hi kids!
If you’ve ever ordered pizza with your family, you probably know how hard it can be to agree on an order. My vote is usually for Mediterranean, but my brothers always want meat lovers. How about you? Figuring out who gets to choose the pizza isn’t a big deal, as far as decisions go. It’s not like the decision Jesus faced in the garden of w Gethsemane many years ago. He kne to that doing what His Father wanted Him t what “Le , said He do would mean dying. Still, put He t.” You want be done, not what I wan can God’s will first, ahead of His own. How k? you put God first this wee
Your friend, Kristin

He took three of His disciples with Him. He said to them, “My soul is very sad. I feel close to death. Stay here. Keep watch with Me.” Then Jesus went a little farther by Himself. He prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from Me. But let what You want be done, not what I want.” He prayed this prayer three times.
When Jesus came back to His disciples, He found them sleeping. “Are you still resting? Look! It’s time. The Son of Man is about to be handed over to sinners. Get up! Here comes the one who will hand Me over to them.” While Jesus was speaking, Judas arrived. He was one of Jesus’ disciples. A large crowd was with him, carrying swords and clubs. The chief priests and leaders of the people had sent them. Judas had decided to betray Jesus. After he greeted Jesus, the men with him grabbed Jesus and arrested Him. Jesus spoke to the crowd. “Am I leading an army against you?” He asked. “Do you have to come out with swords and clubs to capture Me? Every day I sat in the temple courtyard teaching. And you didn’t arrest Me. But all this has happened so that the words of the prophets would come true.”
