In today’s episode, we walk with Jesus into the Garden of Gethsemane — a place of deep anguish, honest prayer, and complete surrender. Just as olives are pressed to release their oil, Jesus was pressed under the weight of the world’s sins so He could fulfill His purpose as the perfect sacrifice. We explore:• Jesus’ emotional anguish and what it teaches us about honesty with God.• The meaning behind the “cup” and why Jesus prayed for it to pass.• What true surrender looks like — “Not my will, but Yours be done.”• Why the disciples fell asleep and how it mirrors our own spiritual unawareness.• How Jesus won the battle in prayer before He ever faced the cross. You will walk away encouraged, strengthened, and challenged to surrender your will to God — and to keep praying until peace replaces pressure. Heart Check Questions:• What is God pressing out of you?• Where do you need to “stay awake” spiritually?• Are you willing to pray until peace comes?
