Welcome to a series made by Goodlife based of Scott Ericksons 'Stations of the Cross.' We will be posting 3 meditations a week exploring each station. Follow along with us and reflect on the greatest act of love, this Easter.

1. JESUS IS TEMPTED

“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

For further reflection read verses Matthew 26:36-46

Ask yourself

What scenarios in your life have led you to desperate prayer?

When is your most honest prayer?

When was a time you called others to pray with you?
