Watch And Pray

One Simple Truth
Jesus won the battle at the cross because He won the battle in the Garden.

Scripture
Mark 14:38 ‭ESV‬‬ (Read the Full Chapter Here)
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Jesus won the battle at the cross because He won the battle in the Garden. We cannot dismiss the power of a lifestyle of being watchful and prayerful. Jesus invited and urged Peter and John to recognize the hour, to remain with Him, to watch, and to pray. Yet, they were unable. While the Lord wept, they slept. The Lord is gracious to give us wake up calls, but if we continuously find ourselves asleep spiritually, we should not be surprised when we are overcome by temptation.

Prayer
Lord, the flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing indeed. Give us strength to sow into the spirit and not give way to the flesh. Help us be watchful and prayerful today. In Jesus name, amen.
