Psalms 69:13-15
But as for me, Lord, my prayer to You is for a time of favor. In Your abundant, faithful love, God, answer me with Your sure salvation.Rescue me from the miry mud; don’t let me sink. Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep waters.Don’t let the floodwaters sweep over me or the deep swallow me up; don’t let the Pit close its mouth over me.

Luke 22:39-46
He went out and made His way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.When He reached the place, He told them,“ Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,“ Father, if You are willing, take this cup away from Me— nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.Being in anguish, He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.“ Why are you sleeping?” He asked them.“ Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”

Psalms 22:1-2
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from my deliverance and from my words of groaning?My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer, by night, yet I have no rest.

Psalms 69:1-3
Save me, God, for the water has risen to my neck.I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no footing; I have come into deep waters, and a flood sweeps over me.I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

Mark 14:32-42
Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples,“ Sit here while I pray.”He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and horrified.Then He said to them,“ My soul is swallowed up in sorrow— to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.”Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.And He said,“ Abba, Father! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”Then He came and found them sleeping.“ Simon, are you sleeping?” He asked Peter.“ Couldn’t you stay awake one hour?Stay awake and pray so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”Once again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to Him.Then He came a third time and said to them,“ Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.Get up; let’s go! See— My betrayer is near.”

John 18:1-11
After Jesus had said these things, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, and He and His disciples went into it.Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to Him, went out and said to them,“ Who is it you’re looking for?”“ Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.“ I am He,” Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.When He told them,“ I am He,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.Then He asked them again,“ Who is it you’re looking for?”“ Jesus the Nazarene,” they said.“ I told you I am He,” Jesus replied.“ So if you’re looking for Me, let these men go.”This was to fulfill the words He had said:“ I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear.( The slave’s name was Malchus.)At that, Jesus said to Peter,“ Sheathe your sword! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given Me?”
