The spirit is willing , but the body is weak ..

" Watch and pray so that you won't fall into temptation . The spirit is willing , but the body is weak ."
 ~ Matthew 26 : 41

PRAY ...


 The purpose of prayer is to give us strength to do what needs to be done , wisdom to see the way to solve our problems , and ability to do our best in our tasks.
We pray for success in our work and study hard , we pray for health , we pray for protection , we pray for forgiveness , we pray for for everything that is needed , we pray for help in carring out church callings.
We need to pray not only for freedom from difficulty but strength and faith to endure time of trials
 * Consider it pure joy , my brothers and sisters , whenever you face trials of many kinds ,  because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete , not lacking anything . If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault , and it will be given to you . But when you ask , you must believe and not doubt , because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea , blown and tossed by the wind .That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord . Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
~ james 1 : 2-8
