The Cup

And he went a little farther, 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 you will.

As I sat in the hospital lobby,
My Bible reading fell to
The Garden of Gethsemane
And the crucifixion.

It seemed fitting.

And I thought about the promise
That signs would accompany those who believe:
“They will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The resurrected Christ said this,
Even after he prayed and has his request
Not granted.
