Lamentations 3:28-30

Mark 14:33-37
He took Peter, James and John along with him. He began to be very upset and troubled.“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death,” he said to them.“ Stay here. Keep watch.”He went a little farther. Then he fell to the ground. He prayed that, if possible, the hour might pass by him.“ Abba, Father,” he said,“ everything is possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.“ Simon,” he said to Peter,“ are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?

Job 7:13-16
Sometimes I think my bed will comfort me. I think my couch will keep me from being unhappy.But even then you send me dreams that frighten me. You send me visions that terrify me.So I would rather choke to death. That would be better than living in this body of mine.I hate my life. I don’t want to live forever. Leave me alone. My days don’t mean anything to me.

Deuteronomy 28:66-67
Your lives will always be in danger. You will be filled with fear night and day. You will never be sure you are safe.In the morning you will say,“ We wish it were evening!” In the evening you will say,“ We wish it were morning!” Your hearts will be filled with fear. The things you see will terrify you.
