What are we to pray for? Lord Jesus reminds you: “your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” The prayer is, therefore for His Grace, for constantly remembering Him, for making you a channel to do His Will, and for forgiveness. There is a mysterious power in the universe—Satan—that tempts even the best of men, deludes even the wisest of them, and leads even the greatest of them astray. Prayer is offered to the Lord to guard you against this.

 

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

 

"Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 'All this I will give you,' he said, 'if you will bow down and worship me.' Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: "Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only."'"
