Watch and pray

"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭41‬ KJV). One of the most important disciplines we as believers should learn to do is praying to God the Father. There must be daily prayer in the believer's life. If there was one important discipline Jesus taught His disciples, it would be to pray, but it seems like the church has lost prayer in this last hour. If one would call a prayer meeting, don't be surprised if only a small number of people would come out to it. It is because people do not believe in prayer anymore. We can ask ourselves if this is why the church in America is so bound up by the world and why the world is influencing the Western church and not the church the world. Prayer is not only our communication between our Lord and ourselves, but it is intimacy with the Lord. It is the place of growth, a place where we can get personal with Christ. It is a place of help, our refuge. Prayer is our stronghold from our enemy, a place where one can get under the shadow of the wings of the Most High. Prayer helps prevent us from getting trapped in temptation. That is why Jesus told His disciples to be watchful and to pray. When temptation arises among us, we should run and find a place to lift our voices unto God. Victory in Jesus Christ comes also to those who know Him and respond to Him through prayer. God bless you.
