Today’s prayer
Written prayerDear Lord, you have perfect timing for all things. The time of the fulfillment of the arrival of the predicted messiah was now. Jesus knew that after John the baptist was imprisoned it was the fullness of time for the world to know the Messiah was among them. He began to preach the importance of knowing the time was short and the Kingdom of God was at hand. I have no idea when Christ is going to return to the earth in the final days. No one but the father knows when the fullness of time will be so it is important to be ready. Just as Jesus called the people to repent for their sins I need to keep my soul clean through repentance. Repentance can become despair without faith in the gospel of good news and faith can become presumption without repentance. Without faith and repentance there is no way to be saved. No human efforts of good works will achieve righteousness. When I put my faith in the gospel I receive liberty from the law, peace, forgiveness, and right standing with God through Christ. There is no other way to salvation and eternal life except through the grace of God through his son Jesus Christ. In Jesus name, amen.
