Prayer for Holy Thursday: “In the Garden…”

by Nathan Bierma on April 9, 2009

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.
