Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38
On the night that Your spirit was torn with the prospect of Your sacrifice the men that You had borne through ministry slept.
As Your soul cried out in pain they could not stay awake and You approached them again warning them to stay fresh.
But they fell asleep while You agonized; they did not share Your passion for the souls of men. They should have recognized what was happening, but they were dull
Still, You used the opportunity of their shrinking to call them to spiritual strength and duty Had they truly been awake and thinking they could have seen the victory coming
So like these men am I today I am sure I sleep missing the chance to see the way Your glory is revealed.
Forgive my weakness, make my spirit strong and willing to follow You in the night of Your passion so that in the end I will worthily belong to those who watch and pray and enter not into temptation.
