When the time came for Peter to make a decision of whether to be identified with Jesus or deny Jesus, he denied Jesus. In part, because he had not prayed, and the power he would have received through prayer simply was not there. We don't know for certain. But we do know Jesus prayed and made the right decision, and Peter did not pray and made a bad decision. The making of decisions must be baptized in prayer.
Tough decisions are often misunderstood by some people.
You make tough decisions which many times are misunderstood by some people. They will turn away from you as though you had a diseased body. You may have to stand alone with some of your decisions. But stand you must. During the ministry of Jesus we find that some religious leaders thought He was filled with Beelzebul.
