“36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me. 39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” 

Matthew 26: 36-39, NIV”

Give God your feelings.
Give God your desires.
Give God your trust.

This week during your Solitude Practice, let’s practice “Jesus’ Gethsemane Prayer”.”

Jesus often went into the “eremos” (Greek word for: the desert, the deserted place, the desolate place, the solitary place, or the quiet place) to spend time in the quiet with God. It’s an intentional act to find silence and stillness in order to enter into a more intimate relationship with God.
