Kneeling by the couch once more,
I nod off, just as they did many years ago.
Position doesn’t matter kneeling, standing, sitting, plank…
In any position I sleep.
Watchful nights come easily to me 364 days of the year.
But on this night, the night He asks us to
Stay awake,
Watch,
And pray,
I sleep.
As dawn breaks, I wake up and I am sad.
He was alone, once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When He rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. <\/em> <\/em><\/sup>\u201cWhy are you sleeping?\u201d He asked them. \u201cGet up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.\u201d<\/em>
