Jesus, the Son of God, has power to change lives and yet, rather than exercise His power, He prays. Jesus could do all of the things for which He asks here in prayer. But, instead of doing them on his own, He offers them to His Father.
Why? Because there is something more important than the things for which He prays. Above all petitions, even above life itself, Jesus values His relationship with His Father.
