A Watching Prayer 9.12.15

Lord we take your Word seriously.  You said:

Mark 13:32“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alerte ! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.
35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’ ”

You told us to watch, we are watching.  I pray for and with all those who pray this prayer with me now that this prayer will be entered into the heavenly record and remembered on the day you come back for us.  Lord, for all those in Christ, for our families and ourselves we pray that we will be found watching and not sleeping when you show up for us.

We must be found as faithful, obedient, watching servants Lord, help us.  We look forward in joyful expectation to your arrival Lord.  May we all be able to rejoice on the day you come back for us and none of us be ashamed.  All glory and honor and power be yours forever and ever.  AMEN
