Biblical Prayer Focus:
Luke 22:44-46 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
Jesus agonized in prayer and yet so often we hardly pray. Ask the Lord to help you be focused and alert in prayer so that you won't enter into temptation to betray or desert Him.
