A Lesson on Jesus' Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane - Praying Your Will Be Done

🙏🤲📓Bethy offers a Holy Week devotional for kids on the Jesus' Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. It's so important for us to remember that we need to pray for God's will to be done and not our own. He knows so much more than we do. His way is the best! This Easter week devotional is designed to be used at home by parents who would like to make this Holy week special for their kids. It can also be an excellent resource for Sunday school teachers looking for some support for their lesson, Matthew 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, Luke 22:39-46, and John 17.
