Psalms 22:2

³My tears have been my food day and night, while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

⁷Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?

¹LORD, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me. ¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

⁴¹He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed, ⁴²saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. ⁴⁴Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

⁴⁵When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, ⁴⁶and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

¹²In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

⁸Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

¹⁰night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

⁴⁴He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁴You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
