Watch and Pray
What are we watching for?
Our reactions to news
Reactions to each other
Reactions to gossip
Things that distract
Allowing Our selves chains of thought which lead us away from God -things that need to be done, said, relationships, things we want, need, financial constraints.
The only thing we can do is pray. It's too easy to promise something and then to break that promise. I’ve found that bringing my concerns, failures and prayers to God results in a clearer head and a knowledge of what to do to resolve the situation. Prayer works.
Matthew 26:41
Keep watch and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 14:38
And he said to them, “Keep watch, and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Luke 21:36
Be on watch and pray always that you will have the strength to go safely through all those things that will happen and to stand before the Son of Man.”
1 Peter 3:12
For the Lord watches over the righteous and listens to their prayers; but he opposes those who do evil.”
