In the last week of Jesus’s life we hear in his prayers his desire for God to move, his desire for intimacy, his desire to submit and to do the will of the Father, despite the challenge it presents. These are real prayers – prayers made in the midst of difficult circumstances, prayers that in many ways reflect his desperation. These are the prayers that took him to the cross.
