The spirit is often willing while the flesh is weak. While Jesus prayed so intently in the Garden of Gethsemane that His perspiration resembling drops of blood, the disciples drifted off to sleep. The mind desires to remain strong during temptations, but our carnal human nature seems to be programmed to destroy us. We need to cry out for discernment and wisdom from Almighty God to gain understanding from God, putting aside our own proclivity for self-preservation. Like the priests who were instructed to keep the daily fire burning, we are to begin and end each day with prayer to keep our Feast fervor and connectivity with God Almighty. As we face post-Feast let-down, we see how weak we are spiritually. We need to daily renew our spiritual flame through prayer, study, and meditation, resolving to implement the changes we made at the Feast. We need to draw closer to God through His Holy Spirit.
