Thursday before Good Friday, Jesus asked them to sit, stay, keep watch and pray with Him

Jesus, this very night asked to sit near Him, stay near Him, keep watch with Him, and pray with Him just even for an one hour! But none could!
Even today Jesus is praying (Rom8:34) are we sitting near Him, staying near Him, watching and praying with Him?
Matthew 26:36:38 "..and he (Jesus) said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zabedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.
41. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
45. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting?
