the week ahead of me

So today i found out that i work monday through thursday, six and a half hours each day, usually getting home around eleven then homework and QT. Basically i will be working more than i will be sleeping each day, so i know i'm going to be tired. Because i know i'm going to be tired i know that i am going to be more vulnerable to sin. While i was doing my QT tonight i came upon this verse that i think is very true that i'm glad i came upon and i wanted to share it with whoever is reading this.

Mark 14: 38 "Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak."

It speaks much truth about our human lives, once we become tired or stressed or just over-burdened we tend to fall to the temptation of sin easier than usual, no matter how much we want to resist that sin. That is why we must keep in constant contact with God and continue to pray for strength against the temptations that may come.

Lots of prayer for this week, lots of stuff coming up on friday and saturday, i'm glad there is spring break right around the corner. I need it, and i'm sure everyone else does too.
