The Garden of Surrender
Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed,42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”
1. Proximity to Jesus is Not Enough

2. Faith is not the absence of struggle, but trusting God in the middle of it.
Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done. Luke 22:42
3. The key to strength is not holding on, but letting go.
An angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him. Luke 22:43
4. God’s will may not be easy, but it is always worth it.
When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”
Luke 22:45-46
Your garden is not the end—it’s where your faith begins!
