MATTHEW 26:42 KJV In our deepest, darkest, days ... we can follow the example of Jesus in
the hours before he was betrayed and arrested.
He went off alone and "fell on his face" in prayer. We're told that Jesus went back to thegarden three times, and each time He prayed the same words.
Another lesson from this passage is that we can pray without ceasing until God changes our circumstances or He will change us ... gives us the strength
... His strength ... to face whatever lies before us ... even unto death. Let us not fall asleep as our "spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as you will.
Matthew 26:41-42
Watch and pray, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, your will be done
Matthew 26:44
And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then comes he to his disciples, and said to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners
