One of the most important prayers in any man’s life is to pray not to fall into temptation.
Falling into temptation can bring any man down from grace to grass. It can also make a great man an ordinary man.
Matthew 26:40-41
40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?
41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
This is so important that there is an instruction that whoever thinks he stands should watch lest he falls.
1Co 10:12 NET So let the one who thinks he is standing to be careful that he does not fall.
Don’t be so confident that you ignore a gentle warning.
