Matthew 20v22-23

Heavenly father
give us grace today to cope with the difficulties that we encounter as a result of seeing first your Kingdom

(the mother of the sons of Zebedee asked Jesus for her sons to be his right/left hand men in his Kingdom) 
²² But Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you are asking.
Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
They said to him, “We are able.”
²³ He said to them, “You will indeed drink my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;
but to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give, but it is for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”
