"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
— Matthew 26:41
Jesus had a simple request for Peter, James, and John in the Garden of Gethsemane, and that was to watch and pray. But they were sleeping instead of praying.
I think the disciples' lack of prayer was because up until that moment everything was going well for them. Think about it: When do we usually pray? We pray when we are in trouble. If things are going reasonably well, if there are no problems on the horizon—we may not pray all that much. But when a crisis hits, when problems come, we storm heaven.
Jesus knew that a crisis was coming. He wanted them to pray with Him. Especially because He didn't want them to fall into temptation.
All Jesus was asking from Peter, James, "Just watch and pray." But twice when Jesus went back to check on them, they were sleeping.
Prayerlessness is something many Christians struggle with.
l Thessalonians 5:17 says, "Pray without ceasing."
Has your prayer life been lacking lately? Would you ask the Lord to help you in this area?
Pray: Lord, I want to pray more, I need your help. Please help me to fix my eyes on You and pray without ceasing, as You have commanded me to, not just when I am in need, but always. In Jesus' name, Amen.
