REST STOP #3: Stumbling through the Garden

A prayer exercise
Read Mark 14:32-42. Then think about these questions.

1 What would it be like to have a walk with Jesus through the garden of Gethsemene?
2 What would it be like to be Peter, James or John, one of the chosen three? How do you think they felt when they saw Jesus . . .agitated? Sorrowful even to death?
3 Is it OK for Jesus to cry? To throw himself down on the ground? What does that say about what is going on and what just lies ahead? What does that say about God?
4 Can you imagine Jesus calling God “Daddy?”
5 Why do you think they slept?
6 “They did not know what to say to him.” Have you ever felt like this?
7 Did Jesus have to go through with the agony of the cross?
8 What looms over your head right now? In what way can you say, “not my will but yours?”

With the scripture and questions as your backdrop, have a garden conversation with Jesus right now. Take a clean sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle, making two columns. Write “Me” at the top of the left column and “Jesus” at the top of the right column.
