So many sleepwalk through life. They never are awake enough to really live. But we are not going to do that with our lives! We are alive because we know Jesus has come and not only brought us life, but he has also showed us how to live. So we are going to be alert. We are going to be self-controlled. We are going to be fully alive, because we know Jesus' return is imminent and our day of salvation and deliverance is near.
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:6
Dear Lord forgive us, for the times that we have lost our sense of urgency to live for Jesus. Use the Holy Spirit within us to waken our passions to serve him with our eyes wide open and our heart set on great and heavenly things. We know you can, and will, do more than we can ask or imagine, but please, awaken us to dream great dreams and imagine great things for your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
