"Reimagined: Prayer" – Mark 14:32-42

Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, November 14, 2021. “In [Mark 14:36 Jesus] joins all of us who have prayed to escape suffering, prayed for healing, prayed for a way through, only to face the very suffering, disease, or dead end we feared. ‘Yet not what I want, but what you want,’ Lord. Jesus comes to want what God wants. Perhaps here we have an image of prayer changing the one praying rather than changing God or external circumstances. Prayer changes the person offering the prayer.”
