Good morning, Lord

50 Commandments of Jesus

45. Watch and Pray—Matthew 26:41

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

Good morning, Lord, please help us watch, to stay awake when we should, to be alert and wise. Please help us see how we can pray without ceasing, so we won't fall into temptation. Please help us do the best we can with our weak bodies, thank You for giving us willing spirits, please help us demonstrate to others prayerful, watchful lives, for Your honor and their salvation, we pray in Jesus name, amen.
