Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Here is a question I might use to begin a Sabbath School lesson study discussion:

What problems did Jesus have and how did He handle them?
In your opinion, what was the greatest suffering that Christ endured?

Which method do I think Christ used the most to overcome suffering?

Yes, He quoted the Scriptures, healed others and rubuked the hypocrisies in a kind way.

To say He offered a prayer to the Father though is like saying that boiling water is hot! A gross understatment.

Prayer is communication. He didn't offer prayers, He prayed almost constantly...a lesson for us.
To offer something is to hold it out and ask, would you like this?

Jesus prayed. Plain and simple.

Was Christ really rejected by His Father, or did He experience a temporary loss of faith?

A much smaller point, since Joseph was a craftsman in a predominently agrarian society, is it not possible that relatively speaking, Jesus' family was in humble circumstances, but still better off than some?

Imo His greatest suffering was during this temporary loss of faith.
