2023 Easter Guide

DAY 3 | APRIL 5 LUKE 22:39-46 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place,he said to them, “Pray that youmaynot enter into temptation.” And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup fromme. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” • What does Jesus' example of petition and response to trials teach you about how you can communicate with God during trials? • In what ways can you change how you pray to imitate Jesus' example rather than that of the disciples? • How has fasting each week helped you place your focus on Jesus more fully?
