What accounts for all the disciples all falling asleep when Jesus needed them most?
Think of ways that we can ‘fall asleep’ when others are in need of our help.
What are the signs in Mark 14:32-42 that Jesus was under incredible stress?
14:38 – Why is “watching and praying” the remedy to the danger of falling into temptation?
Jesus’ crucifixion was His idea (read John 10:18). So how do we account for his prayer in Mark 14:35-36 that He could somehow avoid it?
Imagine finding out that in 24 hours you would die violently and painfully. How would you handle that knowledge? How would you spend those hours? What did Jesus do?*
How would you explain to a non-Christian what caused Jesus such agony as He prayed in the garden?*

During this week pray the I.C.A.N. prayer over a situation that is hanging over you / causing you distress.
Start with intimacy: “Abba”
Call to mind God’s character: “Everything is possible for you”
Aim for authenticity and honesty: “Take this cup from me”
Rest in non-resistance to God’s will: “Yet not what I will, but what you will”
