Devotion 
Where is your garden?
David Jacobs 

As we grow up, many of us turn to certain things as "escapes." Work, exercise, sex, and alcohol can all be used in different ways, some more positive than others.
There is one place where I go when I am feeling despondent: my diary. Writing in my journal is a place where I always feel safe. I can reflect on my day and almost always feel a sense of peace and accomplishment when I write in it. Although it may not traditionally be considered prayer, writing in my journal is a meditative, contemplative, and calming action that helps me focus on the things that are most important to me. My journal, in a way, is my garden of peace.
In these verses, Jesus goes to pray with his disciples by the brook Cedron in a garden. His soon-to-be betrayer, Judas, knew would find Jesus there. Even as Jesus knew of his impending end he remained calm, and surrounded himself with those important to him. What better place for Jesus to spend his final hours of peace! He spent his remaining hours doing what he enjoyed the most with the people that he enjoyed the most. Like my journal, it was a place he could turn to calm down, prepare for what was coming, and focus on what was important to him.

Prayer 

What is your "garden" of peace? Is there a place, person, action, or substance that you turn to habitually to try to relax? More importantly, whatever your garden may be, is it a positive one? Does it help or hurt you? Use Christ as an example: be in a setting that you love with people that you love.
