MARK 14:38
‘Keep awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.’
Stay alert be aware of the dangers that lurk around you, and be vigilant for when temptation creeps on you, often without thinking you give in. Stay awake and pray lest having fallen over and over again you will lack the will necessary to rise up again and start anew. Trials, tribulations, and sorrows make you aware of your need of Me, My help, My Spirit, My grace. You cling to Me and pray when you realize how weak you are and apart from Me you can do nothing. But when the time of trials passes you are prone to more easily fall back into old ways. You lose your fervent love for Me and your awareness of your need for Me and your dependence on Me. Your flesh is truly very weak, ---- my own, this is why you need to pray constantly so when times of trial come you will be strong in the strength of the Spirit of God and you will overcome the snares that the devil is constantly laying out to trap you. Pray constantly but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.
