The Word:

Jesus replied, 'The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Those who love their life will lose it, while those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. 'Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. John 12:23-27

First of all, i ask myself, "How much have i really died to myself?" Too often i'm doing things out of my own will, my own selfish desires.
And that last part....it seems that there are times when we are asking for God's deliverance from a situation when HE was the one who brought us into that situation. This is something i want to meditate more on....
Anywho, hope that scripture helps ya'll.

Luke
