Mark 14:36

PrayerGod's will and callingObedienceGod's love

34 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”

35 Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

“Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”

37 Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38 Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
