Day 8: With Jesus in Gethsemane (Part 2)
Jesus prays three times in Gethsemane for the cup of suffering to pass from him, and the Father's answer is no. Today's step invited us to sit with Jesus in his desperate prayer and to reflect on our own experiences of God's "no" or "not yet."
Community discussion question:
Have you experienced God's "no" or "not yet" in your own struggles? What is it like to sit with Jesus, knowing he has experienced this, too?

It can feel frustrating.
Alienating.
You just want it now.
But experience has taught me patience.
And I know one day God's reasons will become clear to me .
It's about trust 💙
