I am praying to you in my time of trouble. I know you will answer me.
“I was in very bad trouble. I called to the Lord for help, and he answered me. I was deep in the grave. I cried to you, and you heard my voice.
God says, “Call me when trouble comes. I will help you, and you will honor me.”
Every time I call to you, God, you answer me. So listen to me now, and hear what I say.
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.
Lord, people remember you when they are in trouble. So because of your punishment, we called out to you.
I cry out to the Lord. I beg the Lord to help me.
When my followers call to me, I will answer them. I will be with them when they are in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them.
I am ready to give up. But you, Lord, know the path I am on, and you know that my enemies have set a trap for me.
In my trouble I called to the Lord. Yes, I cried out to my God for help. There in his temple he heard my voice. He heard my cry for help.
Jesus was full of pain; he struggled hard in prayer. Sweat dripped from his face like drops of blood falling to the ground.
