| CAUGHT SLEEPING |
Matthew 26:40 And he cometh unto the
disciples, and findeth them asleep, and
saith unto Peter, What, could ye not
watch with me one hour?

Matthew 26:40
What a sad rebuke that Peter received from the LORD As he was entering his darkest hour. It
is not that difficult for me to imagine my self in Peters shoes though, because sometimes I fear
that I am their. Looking at the state in which our country is in, how much more could I have
prayed? How about the situation that my friends are in, how much more could I have prayed?
Looking at the dangers to my family, how much more could I Pray? Looking at the ease with
which my heart is affected with the things of this world, how much more could I pray?
My feeling as I read here in Matthew is that I have fallen asleep. Prayer is the greatest
weapon which I have against an enemy which is more powerful than I am, more in number than
I am, and quite frankly could overcome me at any time were it not for the LORD Jesus Christ. I
am commanded to pray. I am exhorted to have an attitude of prayer. I have been told how
effective my prayers can be. So why be found sleeping as all that I love is under attack and
slowly slipping into the hands of the Devil.
