Jesus prayed, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42, NKJV)

Jesus, the ultimate model of perfect obedience to God, as He prayed intensely to His heavenly Father in the garden of Gethsamane.

Luke 22:41-46 NKJV [41] And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, [42] saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” [43] Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. [44] And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. [45] When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. [46] Then He said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
