  “Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”

   

  Matthew 26:41a

  After the Last Supper, as Jesus went along the Mount of
  Olives on his way to Gethsemane, he told the disciples to watch and pray, lest
  they fall into temptation. We live in a fallen world in which Satan is the god
  of this evil age. Although he was an apostle, Judas had become a tool of Satan
  and agreed with the Sanhedrin to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

  At this point in time Satan was also after Peter and the
  other apostles, attempting to turn them away from the living God. In Luke
  22:31-32 we read that Jesus said to Peter, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked
  to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not
  fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
  Additionally, in Matthew 26:31 Jesus predicted that all his disciples would soon
  would fall away: “This very night you will all fall away on account of
  me.” Peter protested, saying, “Even if I have to die with you, I will
  never disown you.” The rest of the disciples also said the same thing, as
  we read in verse 35. But the disciples failed to watch and pray.

  If a believer sins, it is because he has failed to watch and
  pray. Feeling confident and independent, he thinks he has no need of God’s
  grace.

  Prayer has been on my mind lately! Just think the word says we have not because we  ask not! James 4:2 warns us that “we have not because we ask not.” WOMEN PRAY MORE THEN WE HAVE EVER PRAYED BEFOR GOD WILL ANSWER. MAYBE NOT IN THE TIME WE WANT … BUT HE WILL ANSWER IN DUE SEASON !
