"And He cometh unto the disciples, and fainted them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
-Matthew 26:40-41, KJV
Sometimes as Christians we want to do good. We try to do good but yet how often is it we can't even make it an hour?
Perhaps the disciples aren't so alone in this story, I can't say I haven't been in the same place. Wake up early to pray? A whole hour? Even an hour after work. It can be difficult but nothing compared to what Christ gave.
Indeed the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. We need to watch and pray! So we do not enter into temptation.
