In the Garden of Gethsemane, as He began the long night of unspeakable suffering in the Atonement for our sins, Jesus prayed:
And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
-- Matthew 26:39
The greatest prayer ever prayed! I shall not attempt to elaborate on this prayer, for who can elaborate on perfection? If we can pray this and mean it, we draw truly near to God.
