Be Watchful In Prayer

 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers - 1 Peter 4:7.                   

                 It is important for us to be watchful in prayer as the devil prowls like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour - 1 Peter 5:8. We will never fall into any temptation when we watch and pray. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak - Matthew 26:41.

                 Daniel was watchful in prayer three times a day even though all his situations were against him. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days - Daniel 6:10.

            Let us watch and pray so that we can stand strong in the midst of all tribulations. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints - Ephesians 6:18. Be watchful in prayer as the Lord’s coming is near. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming - Matthew 24:42. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful - Colossians 4:2.                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to be watchful in prayer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
