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. When I was just a boy, my dad came into my bedroom early one morning to wake me up, get me out of bed.

And he said, I have something for you. I was pretty excited. I thought perhaps some gift or even better money.

And he went over to my dresser where I had a mirror and he put something up on the mirror and walked out of the room.

And I got out of bed and jumped to that side of the room to see what it was that was waiting on me there.

And it was a sticker stuck to my mirror.

It had one word on it.

It was the word attitude.

I must confess and tell you, I hated that sticker.

It was good for me, but I didn't really like it because it was a constant reminder to check my attitude.

Attitude really does affect every part of life.

I remember years ago hearing Zig Zigler say that your attitude affects your altitude,

and there's some truth in that.

We've been talking about our attitude,

and that's really what watching and praying does.

It helps you to see like God sees,
