Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed,“ My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter,“ So, couldn’t you stay awake with Me one hour?Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”Again, a second time, He went away and prayed,“ My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.”And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.After leaving them, He went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted, went home, and spent the night lying on the ground.The elders of his house stood beside him to get him up from the ground, but he was unwilling and would not eat anything with them.On the seventh day the baby died. But David’s servants were afraid to tell him the baby was dead. They said,“ Look, while the baby was alive, we spoke to him, and he wouldn’t listen to us. So how can we tell him the baby is dead?

I sought the Lord in my day of trouble. My hands were continually lifted up all night long; I refused to be comforted.I think of God; I groan; I meditate; my spirit becomes weak. SelahYou have kept me from closing my eyes; I am troubled and cannot speak.I consider days of old, years long past.At night I remember my music; I meditate in my heart, and my spirit ponders.“ Will the Lord reject forever and never again show favor?Has His faithful love ceased forever? Is His promise at an end for all generations?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger withheld His compassion?” SelahSo I say,“ I am grieved that the right hand of the Most High has changed.”I will remember the Lord’s works; yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.

“ At that time I begged the Lord:Lord God, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can perform deeds and mighty acts like Yours?Please let me cross over and see the beautiful land on the other side of the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon.“ But the Lord was angry with me on account of you and would not listen to me. The Lord said to me,‘ That’s enough! Do not speak to Me again about this matter.Go to the top of Pisgah and look to the west, north, south, and east, and see it with your own eyes, for you will not cross this Jordan.

“ What do you want?” He asked her.“ Promise,” she said to Him,“ that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right and the other on Your left, in Your kingdom.”But Jesus answered,“ You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”“ We are able,” they said to Him.
