In Jesus' most agonizing moments before his crucifixion, he commanded Peter, James, and John to watch and pray.

Jesus then went on to moments of fervent prayer in the garden. Unfortunately, those disciples failed

in their assignment, and Jesus found them sleeping instead of praying. In this study,

Evangelist Scott Pauley will lead us and challenge us to watch and pray, to pray faith-filled

prayer for God to move and work in our generation.

Be sure to listen after the study for details about a special prayer resource

Scott is making available through this series.

And now, let's join Scott Pauli. We all get 24 hours in a day, and we are stewards of every one of those hours.

Have you ever tracked what you do with the hours of your life?

Because years are made up of months and months of weeks and weeks of days and days of hours

and every hour matters.

One hour can make all the difference.

We return one more time today to Matthew chapter number 26 to this portion of scripture where

our Lord Jesus at his first recorded says to his disciples watch and pray we have discovered

what we watch for we watch for the enemy why we watch we watch so we can pray and who we watch

with we watch with Jesus he is with Jesus. He is our great

prayer partner. Thank God Jesus is praying for us today and we can enter into his work with him.

We can pray as well. What a privilege that is and what a responsibility that is.

But I want to draw your attention to one little phrase that has really captured me in recent days.

It's the question that Jesus posed to Peter.

Now, he told them all to watch and pray, but he looked Peter in the face.

Imagine Jesus looking at you today and asking this question.
