Lord Jesus, may we be mindful of staying within the circle of Your love and grace. The last days are upon us. The biblical descriptions of the current human condition point to the coming day of Your return. Draw us closer to You, Lord. We pray to solidify our relationship with You for now and forever. In Your wrath, remember mercy. We pray in Your almighty name and authority, according to the good and perfect will of the Father. Amen.
“But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” (Jude 1: 17-21 NKJV)
