Quick Thought:

"Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, just as we hope in You." Psalm 33:22 (NKJ)(NKJ)

Luke 22:39-46
And He (Jesus) came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives;
and the disciples also followed Him. And when He arrived at the place, He said to
them, "Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to
pray, saying, "Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My
will, but Thine be done."

Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. And being in agony
He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling
down upon the ground.

And when He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from
sorrow, and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not
enter into temptation. Luke 22:39- 46 (NAS)

Luke 1:26-38
Now in the sixth month th.e angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee,
called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants
of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And coming in, he said to her, "Hail,
favored one! The Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at this statement,
and kept pondering what kind of salutation this might be.
And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with
God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a son, and you shall name
Him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the
Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the
house of Jacob forever; and His kingdom will have no end."
And Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" And the angel
answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of
the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy offspring shall
be called the Son of God.
"And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age;
and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month. For nothing will be impossible
with God." And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; be it done to me according
to your word." And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:26-38 (NAS)
