Matthew
26:41
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit
is willing, but the body is weak."
(NIV)
"Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed
is willing, but the flesh is weak."
(KJV)
We all have good
and noble intentions. The problem is that intentions are
seldom accompanied by constant awareness, prayer, and action. Intentions have no power. Our power to overcome and accomplish is made
real through the Holy Spirit by prayer and being on guard
against the enemy. We need commitment rather than intentions
to allow the Lord to give our spirit the power to overcome
our weaknesses.
Heavenly Father,
search our hearts and help us recognize the intentions within us that sit
dormant and useless. Pour out Your Spirit in our hearts so that we will commit
ourselves to doing Your will instead of intending to do it. Forgive us for our
spiritual laziness and make us more like our Lord. We pray in His name,
Amen.
