Matthew 26:40-45 And he comes to the disciples, and finds them asleep, and said to Peter, What, could you not watch with me one hour?… One of the best means in the world to withstand temptations to sin, because — 1. It keeps the mind steady and fixed, and therefore ready to resist the temptation when it comes. 2. Because it takes off the false colours and appearances of things; for everything may be represented plausibly to an irresolute mind. (E. Stillingfleet.)
