Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.

Luke 22:31-46
Satan  has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.
I  tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.
But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.
Jesus went on out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him.
Why are you sleeping? he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation."
Jesus' real trial takes place among the olives, as he consents to sacrifice his life. Arrest follows swiftly.
Why?
Jesus knew that Peter will lose faith and deny Jesus three times previously, but Peter didn't recognize this. So Jesus said when you have turned back, strengthen your brother.
The trial takes place so Jesus asked his disciple take purse and bag , even sword with them.
The sacrifice will fulfilled in Jesus so Jesus faced the trial on Olive mount.
How?
Even the weakness is in hands of Jesus, so why should I fear and worry about the future and today?
Trust in Jesus and strengthen my brothers.
