In verses 39-46, Jesus and his disciples went out to the Mount of Olives, and Jesus prayed there. He said twice to the disciples, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." The disciples were exhausted from sorrow and sleepy. If Peter prayed earnestly as Jesus did, he probably would not disown Jesus three times.
In verse 32, Jesus said, "But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers." I am thinking if Jesus didn't pray for Simon Peter, Peter might not be able to turn back. God Lord Jesus, I need your help to remind me to pray always, be watchful, and not fall into temptation.
