When It's Late and You're Tired
It's late, you're tired, and the phone is in your hand. The night before the cross, Jesus asked His friends to keep watch with Him. One minute of Scripture and prayer for the hour temptation hits hardest.
Matthew 26:38, Matthew 26:41
1:04
Scripture
Stay here and keep watch with Me.
Matthew 26:38
Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
Matthew 26:41
Read along
It's late. This is the hour a lot of men give in to temptation.
The night before the cross, Jesus asked His friends for one thing.
Stay here and keep watch with Me.
Matthew 26:38
They fell asleep. He told them why it mattered.
Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
Matthew 26:41
You know that's true. You meant it this morning. But it's late, you're tired, and the phone is in your hand.
Jesus stayed awake that night. Then He went to the cross for men who fell asleep. He knows this fight.
So tonight, put the phone in another room. Then pray, while you still mean it.
Lord Jesus, I'm weaker than I want to admit. Keep me watchful tonight, lead me away from temptation, and let me sleep in peace. Amen.
Watch and pray.
