Like a Thief

/0 Comments/in /by

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this:  If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  SO you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Matthew 24:42-44)

Lord, once again I’m reminded that You will come like a thief in the night.  No alarm will sound!  I must be ready at all times.  I pray that I will share the message of the Gospel to anyone who will listen.

You Are

We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. (Colossians 1:15-17, MSG)

Stumbling Over My Pride

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time. (1 Peter 5:6)

Lord, it’s really that simple.  You must become greater in me and I must become less.  I see how often my pride gets in the way of Your work.  And I’m truly sorry for that.  Even in these last few days, I can think of a few conversations where I stumbled over my pride.  It can get ugly at times!  I pray that You will help me overcome my pride.  

Lord, may I remember that I’m a servant.  Here to serve You.  Here to do Your will!  Here to advance Your purpose.  I am not my own.  I was bought with a price.  You paid the price for my sins.  You redeemed me from the pit of Hell.

Praying Through the Gospels

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick; and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured. (Matthew 14:34-36, NASB)

I would like to start a new series on here called, “Praying through the Gospels”.  Please take time to read the passage of Scripture I mention and ask God to work in your heart.  May these prayers through the Gospels bless and encourage you in your walk with the Lord!

Please feel free to share your own prayers, I would love to read them!

Here is my prayer from this passage…
