Prayer PWNS Temptation
Yesterday we went through a list of Bible verses about prayer as we wrapped out “Connect” series on communication with God. Matthew 26:41 says:
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
That’s a pretty cool idea, but during our conversation one of the students put it in their own words:
Prayer PWNS Temptation
Yes it does. I think with meal times, youth group meetings, and other routine forms of prayer we sometimes forget that prayer is a very powerful thing. It isn’t just “Thanks for this food.” But it can be a way to fight the “little Devil on your shoulder encouraging 100 poor choices a day.”
Forgetting the power that prayer actually has is probably one of the most common ways that Christ followers get beat. We forget that when hard stuff comes our way we can go straight to prayer, and we can trust that prayer will make a difference in what’s happening.
