Reflect
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asked the disciples to keep watch while he prayed. He came back to find them asleep. “Could you not watch for one hour?”
Pray
Dear Jesus,
How often have I let you down?
How often have you asked me to do something for you,
only to have my needs and wants take precedence?
You told the disciples, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
How true that is for me too, Lord!
I want to do your will, but the world distracts me and pulls me away.
Help me stay awake to your will, your requests, and your plans for me.
Amen.
Act
Get up 15 minutes earlier than usual. Sit with Jesus, and ask him what he wants you to do for him today.
