Jesus is deep in prayers to God. The disciples are sleeping. Jesus awakens them and encourages them to be in prayer with Him. He knows their weakness. He sees their tiredness. He knows when we are tired and weak that we are more susceptible to temptations that will lead us into sin. That is why He encourages us to remain constant in prayer so that we keep our thoughts and focus on Him. Then we are not distracted by the temptations which seem to be awaiting on all sides. Let your spirit and flesh remain strong in Him!!
