They understood the danger before it arrived

Delay all spiritual concern until signs become unavoidable

Assume ordinary life means nothing serious is coming

Focus on calculating dates rather than changing your life

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and have often lived unaware of your truth. I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord and Savior. Wake me up, forgive me, and lead me in your way. Amen.

Wake Me and Save Me

Lord, wake your Church from careless routine and spiritual sleep. Make us alert to your voice, quick to repent, and faithful as we wait for the coming of the Son of Man. Let our lives carry your warning and your mercy into a distracted world, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Awaken Your People

Pray by naming one place where you have been drifting or distracted. Ask God to wake you up, to show you what needs repentance, and to help you take one obedient step today.

Pray for Alertness

Father, forgive me for living as though your warnings did not matter. I repent of my indifference and my delay. Turn my heart back to you, make me humble and ready, and teach me to live in steady faith, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Turn Me Back

Pray for people around you who do not yet see their need for Christ. Ask God to open their eyes, give you gentle words, and prepare them to hear the good news before it is too late.

For Those Who Do Not See

Thank God that he warns people before judgment comes, that Jesus' coming is real, and that he invites us to readiness rather than surprise.

Thank You for Warning Us
