O Lord, Who has revealed to us that “the night is far spent, the day is at hand,” grant that we may ever be found watching like servants who wait for the coming of their Lord; that, when He cometh and knocketh, we may open to Him immediately. Save us from all love of this world, that we may wait with patient hope for the day of the Lord, and abide in Him, that when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen. ~ Adapted from Romans 13.12; Luke 12.36, John 2.28. In Selina Fitzherbert Fox. A Chain of Prayer Across the Ages: Forty Centuries of Prayer, 2000 B.C.-A.D. 1916 . NewYork: E. P. Dutton, 1943. p. 212. Affirmation for the Day Sunday: The night of the curse is far gone, and the day of our salvation is close at hand. Monday: Our salvation is closer today than when we first believed. Tuesday: The day of Christ’s coming is close at hand, and the night of sin and sadness are on its way out forever. Wednesday: We are to cast off the works of darkness and put on God’s armor of light. Thursday: Put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Friday: We should make no room for fleshly desire or living, but rather seek to please the Lord in all things. Saturday: With the Lord coming soon, let us walk properly as in the daytime.
