read the story of jesus in the garden of gethsemane (mark14:26-52)...
this is what tom wright says about it:
are we, like the disciples,
full of bluster one minute, sleep the next,
and confused and shame the next?
are we ready to betray jesus if it suits our other plans,
or if he fails to live up to our expectations?
or are we ready to keep watch with him in the garden,
sharing his anguish and prayer?
we are not called to repeat this unique moment...
but...it is part of normal christian experience that we too
should be prepared to agonize in prayer as we await our own redemption
and that of all creation.
