My Lord, you called to me when I was sound asleep and your voice somehow stirred up my heart to answer you. Oh, the power in your voice! You command the hosts of heaven, but you never choose to over rule my own will. May I never resist your call, and never delay in following your instruction. I want to eagerly respond to you. Even so, my flesh still leans the other way, seemingly without my knowledge. Before I realize the change, a moment comes when I am waking up again to find that I've been inattentive to your wishes.
You are so patient to forgive every error. I'm so thankful. But Jesus, how I want to be further along in obedience to you! How I want to be the one you can count on to pray until your will is done and not fall asleep. I want to be ever watchful of the enemy, vigilant in prayer, and also in service. But more than anything, I want to delight you! Direct me, Lord Jesus. I'm listening now.
Amen.
Revelation 3: 1b - 2 “I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.”
