And He came and found them sleeping and He said to Peter, “Simon are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak.” Mark 14:37, 38
Lord there is something about praying that makes me want to fall asleep too. It certainly works much better than counting sheep. Perhaps it is the comforting feeling in knowing You are there listening and caring.
These three men were in Your presence even though You had gone on a little further away from them.
Lord they wanted to stay awake and pray just like I do but yes, our spirit is willing but our flesh is tired.
Lord this verse helps us all remember how much we need You in our lives. We love You Lord and are oh so grateful that You are always there for us no matter when we come to You in prayer. Oh how we thank You.
Thanks You Lord.
