“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” – MATTHEW 26:41
The purpose of prayer is to get aligned with the
Mind, Will, Heart, Desire, Purpose, and Aim of God Himself.
It
is a fight and a struggle just to get to Gethsemane. It is a battle to
get your siblings to stay awake with you for even one hour; and it is an
all-out war to “pray thrice” or ten times or twenty times or one
hundred times, as the case may be, until you have gotten the victory
over yourself, and come away soaked with the blood, sweat, and tears of
that early morning wrestling. But once the outcome is decided in God’s
favor, what awesome power and Life one receives, to drink that Cup that
looked so impossible before, and to go forth bearing the Cross in the
strength and power of God Himself, to do whatever He requires!
