November 21, 2021 - Luke 22:39-46 - Prayers of Wrestling

On the night of Jesus’ arrest, we get a glimpse of an all-to-real aspect of prayer for us, but one we don’t think of Jesus praying: He wrestled with God, struggled with God’s will, & ultimately was not granted his request. What do we do when God doesn’t answer? Where is God if evil and even death seem to win?
This week we consider how to pray in the midst of suffering and anguish, and against temptation to trust our way over God’s. We’ll learn from Jesus “the kind of prayer that gives [us] the courage and fortitude to resolutely insist on God’s will, even [over our own, and even] in the face of persecution and death” 
(Catherine White).
