Watch over me

Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.  In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. (Luke 22: 43-44)

Night fears, the sweats, the quickened heart beat – that is what Jesus is going though. A messenger from God appears to him to give him strength.  They have been to him before and now they are back as his ministry seems to be drawing to its dramatic, earth-shattering conclusion.
