Yes, well, I'm sure that we all think we would be strong, as did St. Peter. However, if a man who walk with our Lord, ate with Him, learned at His knee can falter, than why would we think we would be stronger.

What is that saying "Pride goeth before a fall".

We could only hope and pray that we would be strong enough, and we could only hope and pray that God would forgive us if we were not.

I do believe St. Peter was forgiven.

I don't disagree with you except your assignment of pride.

I'm not sure that I would have the strength under those circumstances.

My post was intended to prompt people to examine their faith and encourage the prayer you suggest.
