Commenting on Mt. 26:41 ("Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation"), St. Thomas Aquinas (Catena Aurea: Matthew lecture 11) reports Origen as sayng:
Finding them thus sleeping, He rouses them with a word to hearken, and commands them to watch; "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation;" that first we should watch, and so watching pray. He watches who does good works, and is careful that He does not run into any dark doctrine, for so the prayer of the watchful is heard.
