Death’s ropes were around me. The grave was closing in on me. I was worried and afraid.
I am bent and bowed down. I am depressed all day long.
While Jesus lived on earth he prayed to God, asking for help from the one who could save him from death. He prayed to God with loud cries and tears. And his prayers were answered because of his great respect for God.
Jesus was full of pain; he struggled hard in prayer. Sweat dripped from his face like drops of blood falling to the ground.
