Luke 22:31-34
31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” 33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.” 34 Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”
Our enemy seeks to take and wear us down, but our Lord prays for us as Peter to hold us up when faith is strained. Then He brings us through to serve others after having tasted trials and temptations. Yet knowing all these things we still fail... But He in us is greater, so we are lifted up and strengthened in faith to in turn strengthen others.
