“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!
