In obedience to your Word we pray this watching prayer for and with all those who agree with me in this prayer. We pray in obedience to your many commands to watch and pray for your appearance:
Mark 13:32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34For the Son of man is
as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority
to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to
watch.
35Watch
ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at
even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Over and over again you told us that we will not know the day or hour and to be watching for you. We take your Word seriously. We pray Lord for all those in Christ, and for our families that our sins are forgiven and we may be counted worthy to escape all that is about to happen and stand before you. We pray that when you arrive none of us will be ashamed or found not ready like the foolish virgins. We pray for your power, your protection, your provision and your wisdom to both know and do your will perfectly up through the day you come for us.
We do not know when you are coming but we sense it in our spirits that you are right at the door.
And so, in obedience to your commands we are watching in prayer Lord according to your Word:
| ... Continue in prayer, and watch in it with thanksgiving; .... ... |
sober minded, and watch unto prayer. ...
Perfect us in these days while there is time. May we be found as perfect virgins, spotless in every way, a worthy Bride for a Mighty God and King, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
So be it. In Jesus name we ask it. Amen.
