In reading the Sunday School assignment today, I discovered something I never noticed before. When Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, according to Matthew, he prayed at least 3 times to ask God to "let the cup pass from him". Matthew 26: 39,42,44
That gives me more insight into how Jesus felt and that He really does know how it feels to do something you really don't want to do. It hadn't occurred to me before that Jesus had prayed to Heavenly Father more than once to ask not to have to suffer in the garden.
Sometimes I have felt bad when I pray more than once asking Heavenly Father to not have to do something I don't want to do. Apparently, it is an understandable human emotion that even Jesus experienced.
