Stay alert, be in prayer

Mark 14:32-42 (The Message Version)

They came to an area called Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a sinkhole of dreadful agony. He told them, "I feel bad enough right now to die. Stay here and keep vigil with me."
Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out: "Papa, Father, you can - can't you? - get me out of this. Take this cup away from me. But please, not what I want - what do you want?"
He came back and found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, you went to sleep on me? Can't you stick it out with me a single hour? Stay alert, be in prayer, so you don't enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don't be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."
He then went back and prayed the same prayer. Returning, he again found them sound asleep. They simply couldn't keep their eyes open, and they didn't have a plausible excuse.
He came back a third time and said, "Are you going to sleep all night? No- you've slept long enough. Time's up. The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up. Let's get going. My betray has arrived. "


That day we read the Bible together in the night prayer meeting(we read in Chinese version), for this scriptures I wondered, Jesus asked his disciples to pray, but pray for what? pray that Jesus will not be betrayed? or pray that when Jesus be crucified he will not feel too painful? No, his disciples didn't know about all these even Jesus had prophesid to them about what is going to happen, his disciples didn't understand.
So, pray for what?
In that Chinese version the scriputres not so clearly, from The Message Version I understand more.
Be in alert and be in prayer is a way to prepare our hearts to face the challenges will happen in the future. Yes, through prayers, our hearts can be prepared, so we will not make wrong decision as Peter cut the ear of the priest's servant in a hurry situation.
Yes, stop sleeping! I've slept long enough.
Thank God for the talk with Pastor n his wife last Sat. About my going to US, I just need to be more alert and see myself as a full time servant of God. No more shaking.
What I need to do is spend more time in PRAYERS. To know the will of God and have the heart of God to face all the challenges.
Praise God. Jesus just loves me so much. He knows my weakness, but He still accept and teach me step by step. I love you my Lord becos You loved me first.
