“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak†(Matthew 26:41).
Jesus had just finished agonizing in prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. He came out and found His disciples had fallen asleep. I wonder if they even heard what Christ had to say in today’s scripture verse.
Due to the fact we are in the flesh, there will be times we will let our guard down much like the disciples did. Jesus admonishes us all to be careful and pray lest we fall into temptation. We may think it would never happen to us but when we let down in our service to Him, it can easily happen. I have found the more you attempt to do for God the more you need prayer in your arsenal of weapons against Satan. Pray God will empower you so you won’t fall asleep on your watch.
