Temptation Avoided by Watchfulness and Prayer
Scripture
KJV
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
ESV
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Matthew 26:41
Poem
Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter's power,
Your Redeemer's conflict see.
Watch with him one bitter hour;
Turn not from his griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
