I, like Peter, fail at prayer. I don’t pray in the way I think I should, I don’t even feel like I know how to pray. Like Peter in the Garden, I often literally fall asleep praying. No Jesus, I couldn’t stay awake an hour for You. I am not the witness for Christ that I feel like I should be. If someone were to ask me if I was a follower of Jesus, like they asked Peter, I hope I would say yes, but more often my witness needs to come not when I am addressed, but when I need to speak up. So many times there are debates in classes, cafeterias or the dorms where I simply don’t stand up. I listen to what people are saying and don’t speak. I am so very concerned that my Christian witness will offend someone or make them think less of me because I am trying to defend my faith. I even find myself embarrassed to simply pray grace before meals in a public setting!
