Our daily reminder

“Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts.” Joel 2:12

Lord I could express my opinion over and over about the importance of turning to You before it is too late, but I know there is no better way to express the importance of turning to You than by using Your word.

Prayer:

So today Lord I pray the same prayer David prayed for all my brothers and sisters and for all those who are lost and confused.

Lord remind us how brief our time on earth will be. Remind us that our days are numbered-how fleeting our life is. You have made our lives no longer than the width of our hands. Our entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best each of us is but a breath. We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. (Psalm 39:4-6)

Lord teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom. (Psalm 90:12) Remind us daily that our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. The wind blows, and we are gone as though we had never been here. But Your love O’ Lord remains forever with those who fear You. (Psalm 103:15-17)

Lord capture the hearts of the lost, open their eyes to see Your love and mercy. Place within all of us the urgency to share the Good the News and the urgency to tell everyone that You are coming soon.

Hasten the day Lord Jesus!
