Stay here and watch with Me." 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and mprayed, saying, n"O My Father, if it is possible, olet this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, pnot as I will, but as You will." 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 qWatch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. rThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."1 Romans 12:1-2 (NKJV) Living Sacrifices to God 12 I abeseech 1you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies ba living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your 2reasonable service. 2 And cdo not be conformed to this world, but dbe transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may eprove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.2 James 1:21 (NKJV) Doers-Not Hearers Only 21 Therefore wlay aside all filthiness and 4overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, xwhich is able to save your souls.3 Revelation 5:8 (NKJV) Worthy is the Lamb 8 Now when He had taken the scroll, mthe four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the nprayers of the saints. 4 Psalm 141:2 (NKJV) 2 Let my prayer be set before You aas incense, bThe lifting up of my hands as cthe evening sacrifice.5 Revelation 8:3-5 (NKJV) 3 Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar.
