Jesus went to Gethsemene to pray. He asked His disciples to watch and pray nearby.
What He went through there in Gethsemene was so difficult, He prayed, “take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.” (Mark 14:36)
He was doing His Father’s will, no matter how difficult it was.
He trusted the Father and knew His will was best.
Sometimes we are asked to go through difficult things, not to punish us or even to test us, but to refine us and teach us.
The Father knows what is best.
We can trust His will.
This is probably one of the most difficult lessons we can learn in mortality.
Often “the spirit is ready but the flesh is weak.” (Mark 14:38)
But with faith, we can learn to say as Jesus did, “Not my will, but thine.”
