O Lord,
It's You, O God, that we look to as our Savior, our God, our Redemption, our Hope, our Eternity. O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free Thine own from Satan's tyranny; from the depths of hell Thy people save and give them victory over the grave. As this world spins deeper and deeper into the abyss, we see Your appearing as nearer than we first believed. Awake us O Lord to the ticking hour. Awake us Heavenly Father to the pending doom to all who refuse Your ways, who reject Your mercy, who turn from the Way of Life. Awake us to our duty of sharing the Good News with the lost and perishing. Let us not become complacent, but with prayer be fervent to the great emergency. Give us the boldness to approach those you place in our way to share the Hope of the Eternal Way, the Light of Life. Let not one say of us, 'you knew and did not tell me?' May we be about our Father's business is our prayer in Christ's name we prayer, Amen.
