Matthew 26:39-44
And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying,“ My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter,“ So, could you not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed,“ My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.

2 Samuel 12 16-2 Samuel 12 18
David therefore sought God on behalf of the child. And David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.And the elders of his house stood beside him, to raise him from the ground, but he would not, nor did he eat food with them.On the seventh day the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said,“ Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us. How then can we say to him the child is dead? He may do himself some harm.”

Psalms 77:2-11
In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord; in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted.When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. SelahYou hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I consider the days of old, the years long ago.I said,“ Let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.” Then my spirit made a diligent search:“ Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable?Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” SelahThen I said,“ I will appeal to this, to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old.

Deuteronomy 3:23-27
“ And I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying,‘ O Lord God, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours?Please let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, that good hill country and Lebanon.’But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not listen to me. And the Lord said to me,‘ Enough from you; do not speak to me of this matter again.Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes westward and northward and southward and eastward, and look at it with your eyes, for you shall not go over this Jordan.

And he said to her,“ What do you want?” She said to him,“ Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.”Jesus answered,“ You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him,“ We are able.”
