Mark 13:2 “And Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”
Dear God,
Thank You today especially for answered prayer and every blessing and mercy toward me. Also I thank You that You have sent Your Holy Spirit to be with me, to impart your peace and every correction and gift that is needful today and each day. I seek You each day, and I trust that will You keep me cradled in Your love and care, for today and into the future, on into eternity.
Please never let me depart from You.
When reading in Mark 13 I note that Jesus warned the Jews of the impending doom and destruction upon Jerusalem. It all sadly occurred as He predicted, because of their blindness, prejudice and inability to humble themselves and follow Jesus or be true to the God of heaven; the One they thought they served.
Please keep me from being deceived or deluded, now in these last days in which I live. Mark 13:5 “And Jesus answering them began to say, ‘Take heed that no one deceives you.” Especially are the words of Jesus relevant, in this age of rapid, invasive technology. I ask for wisdom in how I expose myself to inputs within the information and entertainment media that I choose. I ask that the Holy Spirit will protect me from the other inputs that are constantly invading my mind and space; uninvited.
I pray again that You be my strength and stay, so I will have the gift of wisdom, love and discernment, amongst the gifts that are bestowed by the Holy Spirit, and be able to be true to the God of heaven, the only true God. Mark13:22 “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive if possible, even the elect.”
Today I recommit my life to You and plan to walk obediently in Your strength and wisdom, and believe You have heard and answered my prayer.
Amen
