We used this prayer before we shared in communion together last Sunday.
Lord Jesus,
In the garden you agonized while we slept.
In the garden you pleaded to be freed from the jaws of death.
In the garden you sweat and bled in desperation.
In the garden you yielded to your Father’s will.
In the garden you heard the soldiers’ footsteps.
In the garden you were kissed in betrayal.
In the garden you submitted to the darkness to bring us eternal light.
We praise your name forever. Amen.
