Lord, please listen to my voice this morning, as You have every morning when I bring my requests to You and wait expectantly. It is because of Your unfailing love that I can enter Your Presence. So lead me in the right path, and surround me with Your shield of love. For I know that anyone who harms Your children – You will raise Your fist to crush them!
Lord, look at what is taking place today, men young and old, are having sex with each other, and they boast about it. When anyone speaks against it they are yelled at: “Who are you to judge us, for we were born this way.” The shedding of innocent blood by abortion is not acknowledged and treated as the monstrous crime it is in Your sight. I know that the outcry of sin is great, and that it has reached You.
Because the sins in this world are so great – Your faithful ones must remain faithful in the days ahead. For everything prophesied about this time is about to take place. Your children must strengthen each other, because the time has come for all the prophecy to be fulfilled.
So why are Your children sleeping; treating it so lightly and indifferent? We need to wake up, and pray for strength to endure and persevere! The signs are very clear, You are coming soon! And there’s still work to do.
Your word says that nation will go to war against nation. There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and plagues. There will be terrifying and strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. The nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides, and the polar caps will begin to melt. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth.
Your word tells us that there will be a time of great persecution for Your children. Even those closest to us: our parents, brothers, relatives, and friends will betray Your faithful ones and some will be killed because they refuse to deny You and Your Word. Everyone will hate us because we follow You. You said that this will be a great opportunity for Your children to testify about You. We must remember that by standing firm in our faith, we will be able to win souls for You.
These things that You said would happen, are happening; therefore Your children must stand strong in the truth and depending on Your favor. Help us not to have hearts dulled by the worries of this life. Help us not to be unaware and unprepared, but alert at all times, and praying to be strong with Your strength and wisdom.
