The Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have all of you, that he might sift you as wheat, but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail. You, when once you have turned again, establish your brothers.' Luke 22:31 WEB
Peter told Jesus that he was ready to go to prison and to die for Him if needed, which was a very bold statement. Then Jesus told Peter that satan had asked to test him, to reveal what was inside of him, and that Peter was soon going to deny that he even knew Jesus three times. Then He added, 'and when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.'
Jesus knew that Peter was going to be tested for a season, and that Peter was going to fail the test. He wanted Peter to get back up, to continue and to strengthen the others, even though he had failed the test. Sometimes we are tested to reveal what is inside of us to ourselves. Peter did not know that much fear was inside of him, until after the test. Sifting strains out the bad and brings things that are hidden into plain view.
Maybe in the past you have made a bold statement that you would serve God no matter what, and then the what happened and you failed. Get back up, keep going, continue on God's path. Jesus knew that it would happen before He called you, but He called you just the same. He is not mad at you.
