Deuteronomy 28:66-67
28:66 Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will be terrified by night and day and will have no certainty of surviving from one day to the next.
28:67 In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening!’ And in the evening you will say, ‘I wish it were morning!’ because of the things you will fear and the things you will see.
Job 7:13-16
7:13 If I say, “My bed will comfort me,
my couch will ease my complaint,”
7:14 then you scare me with dreams
and terrify me with visions,
7:15 so that I would prefer strangling,
and death more than life.
7:16 I loathe it; I do not want to live forever;
leave me alone, for my days are a vapor!

14:35 Going a little farther, he threw himself to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour would pass from him.
14:36 He said, “Abba,
Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup
away from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
14:37 Then
he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake for one hour?
