Treating it as a message with no future significance

Assuming it applies only to a small group

Putting it off because it is not important

Everyone in the graves will hear his voice

The listeners are told not to be astonished

The dead will remain beyond the reach of his voice

Treat the future as too distant to matter now

Assume nothing will change until it can be seen

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and I need your mercy. I have lived without listening to you, and I turn from my sin now. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. When your voice calls, I want to hear and follow. Be my Lord and my Savior, and give me your life. Amen.

Answering Your Voice

Lord, awaken your Church to the certainty of your coming hour. Keep us from dullness and surprise at what you have spoken; make us a people who hear your voice, trust your promise, and live with holy readiness. Let our hope be bright and our witness steady in a world marked by graves and grief, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Wake Your People to Your Voice

Father, for everyone carrying grief, fear, or the pain of loss, speak your life-giving hope. Remind us that the graves are not beyond your reach and that your voice is stronger than death. Give comfort to the sorrowful and peace to the anxious, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Hope in the Face of the Grave

Pray by naming one area where you are tempted to live as though nothing is coming. Ask God to make you attentive to his voice, and choose one obedient step that fits that hope today.

Pray for Readiness to Hear

Pray for: grieving families, the lonely, and those facing death; that God would give them courage, comfort, and hope; and that they would not be overwhelmed by fear but would learn to trust his coming voice.

For Those Near Death and Grieving

Thank you, Lord, that the future is not empty and that your voice will be heard. Thank you that the grave is not beyond your power and that your purpose will stand. Teach us to live with grateful expectation and steady hope.

Thank You for a Coming Voice
