Exegesis: The passion of Jesus in prayer: we need fellowship (vv. 32-33) and relief (v. 34) in our sufferings. The petition of Jesus in prayer: God wants us to express ourselves honestly (vv. 35-36) and guard ourselves diligently (vv. 37-38). The persistence of Jesus in prayer: we must never lose heart (vv. 39-40) and must always accept God's will (vv. 41-42).
