Verse from Matthew

他稍往前走,把脸俯伏在地上,祷告说:“我的父啊!可能的话,求你使这杯离开我;但不要照我的意思,只要照你的旨意。”(马太福音 26:39)

And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." (Matthew 26:39)

Jesus Himself wanted a way out of His upcoming suffering when He prayed, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. . . . O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me” (Matt. 26:38-39). Yet He willingly went through this for our salvation.

When life seems too much to bear, that’s when we throw ourselves on God’s mercy, and He holds on to us.

Jesus knows and understands what we are going through because He has been through the worst for our sake.
