Oh Lord, I pray that we will all be ready when You return. Many people who read this prayer today may not be with us tomorrow, next month, next year, or even years to come. But what matters is what they have done in this life. Though our bodies are asleep in the dust in the earth, as You have spoken, our spirits will return to them in that day. We will either have been in paradise or been suffering in hell. And it is my prayer that people in the faith will be true to their belief in You, Jesus, and find themselves in paradise before Your return. For we know that the day You return, our spirits will return to our bodies and then either be rewarded by You, Jesus, or have to go before You in judgment. Surely, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. And I do not wish to be one of those who are in the myriads of lines awaiting their fate. Instead, I wish to be Your elect and go before You worthy. It is my prayer that I will hear You say, “well done, thy good and faithful servant. Come into my presence, my dear beloved child”. This is waking up unto everlasting life, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or death. On the other hand, my soul cries out for people to turn to You before it is too late. I do not wish people to rise from the graves unto everlasting torment, shame, and regret. This is when people who are unworthy will be tossed into the lake of fire. But I know that You, Jesus, is a just God, and will deal with people justly. I believe in You, Lord. Lead me to more people, who will be receptive to Your message of hope. I love You. Amen.
