Pray, lest you enter into temptation

This verse has been playing over and over again in my head for the last few days. I've had a little bit of an up and down week. Struggling through some things and realizing how fragile I am sometimes. How easily shaken I can be. It's amazing how easily we bend and over things that seem so small. It's amazing too how easily we find ourselves craving old comforts. I guess that's where this verse comes in and there's definitely something Jesus is trying to teach me in it. Every time I've felt overwhelmed, lonely, scared, unsure or unstable this last week I hear, "Pray, lest you enter into temptation." Jesus knew how weak the disciples were that night of his betrayal. He knew what was to come for them. Peter would deny him. They would all scatter like sheep. He knew their frames. He knew how much they needed the Father's strength on which to draw upon and He continued to prod them.....to pray. To draw upon the Father in their weakness. Even as He was doing that night during His own prayer in the garden. It's not an easy thing to do. When other emotions, wants and draws within your heart are fighting for the same attention. So Jesus, keep teaching me to pray. To come to that place with you, in the midst of my weakness, and find the only strength that's worth anything at all anyways.
