At the foot of the Mount of Olives lies the Garden of Gethsemane – the place where Jesus prayed in deep anguish on the night before His crucifixion.
The word Gethsemane means olive press, a fitting picture of the weight Jesus bore as He prepared to take upon Himself the sins of the world.
Here, under the ancient olive trees, Jesus chose obedience over comfort and surrender over resistance.
He prayed, “Not My will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42), showing us what it means to trust the Father completely.
This is where the greatest battle of surrender was fought – and won – through prayer.
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death… Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” – Matthew 26:38–39; Luke 22:42
The Garden of Gethsemane reminds every believer that faith often grows in moments of pressure.
When life feels heavy, when prayers feel unanswered, Gethsemane points us back to Jesus – who prayed through the pain and trusted God’s perfect plan.
When you send a prayer to this biblical garden, you’re not just remembering Jesus’ struggle; you’re following His example of surrender and trust.
You are saying, “Lord, I place this in Your hands.”
And that prayer still echoes where He once knelt.
When your prayer is lifted up from the Garden of Gethsemane, it’s more than a symbolic act – it’s a living expression of faith.
It’s a way to say: “Father, I trust You, even here.”
We place each prayer with reverence, believing that the same God who met Jesus in His darkest hour still meets His people in theirs – with grace, peace, and purpose.
