Matthew 26:39-44
And he went a little further, 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 thou[ wilt].And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray, that ye 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, thy will be done.And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

2 Samuel 12 16-2 Samuel 12 18
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.And the elders of his house arose,[ and went] to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

Psalms 77:2-11
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.Thou holdest mine eyes waking: 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 commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth[ his] promise fail for evermore?Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.And I said, This[ is] my infirmity:[ 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 thy wonders of old.

1 Samuel 15 11
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul[ to be] king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

Deuteronomy 3:23-27
And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God[ is there] in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that[ is] beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold[ it] with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

Matthew 20:21-22
And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
