Day 7: With Jesus in Gethsemane (Part 1)

In Gethsemane, Jesus is overwhelmed with sorrow and asks his closest friends to keep watch with him, but three times he finds them asleep. Today's step invited us to stay with Jesus in his anguish and loneliness and to connect it with our own.

Community discussion question:

Are there parts of Jesus' suffering here that you identify with, such as friends who miss or misunderstand what you're going through, or emotional pain so intense it physically hurts? How does knowing he experienced this meet you?
