” … so you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [Matt. 26:41] As Jesus and His disciples were in the garden to pray and wait for His accuser, Judas, to come and betray Him precipitating His sacrificial death, Jesus gave this key insight to us.
I believe He meant that a person who prays often and stays sensitive to the Lord’s interests in this life will be fit spiritually, strong enough to overpower the pull toward satisfying the interests and desires that are not Godly.
DAILY PRAYER: Father in Heaven, as we devote ourselves to increased prayer, deliver us from evil and temptation.
DAILY READING: Matt. 25-6
