It was getting to that time, he knew it, his friends knew it too.
Soon he will be gone or will he really?
Will Judas change his mind, will come to himself and not go through with it?
Maybe HIS father will figure out another way to save this world.
This world full of pain, woe, rejection and much more.
How can they treat him like this?
What did he do apart from healing their sick?
Rising their dead, restoring sight to the blind,
Giving hope to the hopeless. Humans, how cruel. Yet I am the sacrifice for them?
‘Father find another way’. This prayer went unanswered.
At weddings he provided when they ran out.
Talk about feeding people, refreshments were always in abundance at his gatherings.
How can his acts be all bad? Just because he said he is the son of God. Father let this cup pass. No response.
Surely His works spoke for him?
Who amongst those he'd helped will defend for him.
He knew Peter was flaky, quick to act and defend him.
But he also knew Peter, O, dear Peter was going to deny him.
Who does he have left?
Gosh, “Father let this cup pass”.

Find another way. You can do all things. Silence.
What do you think was going through the mind of Jesus days leading up to the cross?
Jesus was in the world as a man so he may have been worried and unsure. We are told he was tempted in every way, as a man. So my guess is, all kinds of thoughts passed through his mind. Thoughts like those mentioned above.
We had a peek into his mind at Gethsemane, when he told His Friends,
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death”. He was thinking about the Cross.
This was one prayer his father was not going to answered, because Jesus has to DIE. That is the rescue plan for man’s redemption.
Have your prayers gone unanswered? I belt you too have sought God’s face a few times, and silence is all you got. You know all things work together for good, but right now, you’d rather quit, than face the pain you are experiencing.
Have you stopped to think? Maybe he wants you to go through the pain of waiting to reap the joy of coming out as pure gold. Just as the prayers of Jesus to the father was met with silence, his death on the cross turned out to be the best unanswered prayer.
Remember he said in Romans 8:32 “he who did not spare his own son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also along with him graciously give us all things”?
Go through with it. His plans are the best laid plans.
You may not have a clear answer to your request right now, be rest assured he’s given his son for you…he will along with him bring your hearts desires to pass
