Peter was so confident: "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death." (Luke 22:24-46) Sometimes we can feel like things are going so well that we really can handle it. But we turn the corner, and we crash.
Peter sure did: "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."
The good news is that God knows and has made provision - for Peter and for us. He tells Peter, "but I have prayed for you". And for us - "Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us."(Romans 8:34)
Peter was able to reconcile with Jesus, strengthen his brothers (verse 32), and become a leader in the church. With Jesus praying for us - who knows how good it will turn out.
