Matthew 26:39-44
He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying,“ O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,“ What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying,“ O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

2 Samuel 12 16-2 Samuel 12 18
David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.So the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.Then on the seventh day it came to pass that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead. For they said,“ Indeed, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not heed our voice. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He may do some harm!”

Psalms 77:2-11
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted.I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. SelahYou hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search.Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more?Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore?Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? SelahAnd I said,“ This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”I will remember the works of the Lord; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

Deuteronomy 3:23-27
“ Then I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying:‘ O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?I pray, let me cross over and see the good land beyond the Jordan, those pleasant mountains, and Lebanon.’“ But the Lord was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. So the Lord said to me:‘ Enough of that! Speak no more to Me of this matter.Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift your eyes toward the west, the north, the south, and the east; behold it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan.

Matthew 20:21-22
And He said to her,“ What do you wish?” She said to Him,“ Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”But Jesus answered and said,“ You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” They said to Him,“ We are able.”
