Jesus is about to be arrested, put on a dodgy trial and crucified. Not surprisingly, as he faces this he is deeply distressed. What does he do? He prays and tells his disciples to pray.

They fall asleep, but as we listen into Jesus's anguished prayer we can learn from the master how to better pray ourselves.
