The Agony in the Garden Mt 26:30-46

Dear Jesus,

I understand the limitations of being human. I know I am weak. Despite your presence in me and despite the faith, hope, and love I feel every day, there still are times when I am full of fear.

Help me to rid myself of fear and let your love grow stronger inside me.

Help me to forgive myself when I hurt myself and others through hurtful thoughts, words and actions. Help me to remember that I am human and that I am not perfect.

Help me, too, to know all sides of myself - strong and weak - and to grow the strong, faith-filled side.

Help me to drive the insecurity and impatience away, and replace it with the only true security - love of you and your creation.

Amen
