And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.
"But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."
Luke 22:31,32

Peter, as Jesus says, will deny Him three times. Simon Peter was willing to die for Jesus; needless to say, he wept bitterly because of what he did, denying Christ three times. The reference verse sums it up best -

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about you like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8

The devil is out there waiting to pounce, especially on the faithful. We all have our vices in man's world, and hopefully we have learned to overcome them; regardless, they, as well as the devil, won't go away. Remember that the Holy Spirit will fill your every need. Tell God that you love Him!

The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.

Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Please read your Bible.
