"Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak." Matthew 26:41
Alert-The state of being watchful for possible danger.
- Quick to notice any unusual and potentially dangerous or difficult circumstances.
In our world today, temptation is on every corner. It is in our homes, schools, work places, convenient stores, streets, etc.
If we don't stay alert and in constant prayer, we can be easily tempted, deceived, and eventually give into it.
Go back and look at the list of places we can be tempted. How have they tempted you? Did you give into that temptation? Was it an obvious temptation, or did it sneak up on you in subtle way?
Stay alert and prayerful brethren, at all times, in all places, and for all other brothers and sisters around the world who are being tempted with the same thing.
Be aware of the enemy. Don't let him catch you off guard.
Jesus help us to stay alert and in prayer, for then we will not be caught off guard, but prepared for whatever temptation comes our way. Thank You for the help of the Holy Spirit in warning us and letting us know when we are in danger. You are awesome Father, and You set the best example for us in overcoming temptation. Thank You. Amen
