It happened exactly as Jesus said, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Because Peter did not stay awake and pray, he fell into temptation. Denying and cursing Jesus is what it means to fall into temptation.
Those who pray do not fall into temptation. Those who do not pray fall into temptation. It is very simple.
On the last day, those who keep their faith are the ones who pray. By praying, one gains the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus' prophecy about Peter was fulfilled exactly. Likewise, we must believe that Jesus' prophecy about the last day will also be fulfilled.
