"Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
—Matthew 26:41 (NKJV)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to watch and pray.
Help me keep watch against all the schemes of the enemy by living each moment of my life in prayerful fellowship with You—so that my spirit will remain sensitive to every prompting of Your Holy Spirit within me, and my life can be lived in the peace You offer to those who will trust and obey.
By Your Holy Spirit, make me wise and help me to be discerning—so I can expose every evil lie sent against me that might cause me to fall to temptation. Help me to stand against those lies with the truth of Your Word—so I might live in the freedom that can only be found in Truth.
I know that, though my spirit is willing, my flesh remains weak. Help me to depend on Your Spirit to strengthen me and enable me to resist every temptation I face—so that my life will be filled with only Your very best for me.
Help me to watch and pray.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
