"Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. 'Simon,' he said to Peter, 'are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.'" Mark 14: 37-38
I read this passage and it spoke to me. "The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." That's where I feel I am right now. I feel so weak sometimes, but I want to overcome it. I like the commentary for this section:
1)Keep watch-stay awake and be morally vigilant
2)Pray to God-this is how you maintain your vigilance
It was another struggle today to keep from blaming others. It still is, even as I think about it. I'm so ready to be done with this. I think part of the reason though is that I have such trouble making new friends that I don't want to let go of these.
God, change me. Make my thoughts like yours. Drive the devil out of my mind and take control. Give me faith and love, so that I can love others.
Praying for you Ashley. I know it's hard, especially friend stuff. I'll be praying for healing & for a bff that is so awesome it's ridiculous. xoxo
