What Did Jesus Pray? Matthew 26:36-42 3-23-03

Sermon 3-23-03 What did Jesus Pray Mt 26:36-42

Russia team was concerned about going

Prayed about what to tell them
Looked up some prayers of famous Christians

2 types….I give myself to you
you are wonderful
Share them

As Jesus faced his suffering and death he prayed in the garden

Intimate
-Mark passage = abba

Honesty….
- my soul is in agony, to the point of death

- Take this cup from me

Submission [what is the food chain like in my life?]
- Not my will but thine be done

- If this cant happen unless I drink it, then your will be done

Conclusion
Prayers seem powerless because they are about nothing……
Today, our prayers matter

Acts 20:22
Pray to follow the example of Jesus
Pray that you will be willing to do and go wherever you are called
