Matthew 26:42

God's will and callingPrayerObedience

40 Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

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

A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.

44 So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
