In the garden, Jesus' actions instruct us about prayer. The Christian life is a prayed life. What is prayer supposed to change? The world? Our problems? Our neighbors? The sick?
The first thing that prayer should change is us. When Jesus prayed in the garden, he asked that the cup of his suffering would pass from him. Jesus asked first for God's will.
When we approach God in prayer, we should primarily ask "thy will be done."
May we use prayer as an opportunity to get our will in line with God's will.
