May you, Lord, continue to transform me inside out so that your name be honoured and glorified.\u00a0 In Jesus&#8217; name, I pray, Amen.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"p8\"><b>Diving Deeper<\/b><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">What challenges were Jesus facing during the prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Jesus was facing ________<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was facing ________<\/li>\n<li>Jesus was facing _________<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">According to the sermon:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>What does surrender as Jesus mean?\n<ul>\n<li>Surrender as Jesus means that you are willing to __________________<\/li>\n<li>Surrender as Jesus means that you are willing to __________________<\/li>\n<li>Surrender as Jesus means that you are willing to __________________<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Have you ever experienced the type of prayers that Jesus had in the Garden of Gethsemane?
