But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
Heavenly Father, I pray always that Your children may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass. May we be found faithful when we stand before You. Father, I believe what is written that one day heaven and earth will pass away but by no means will Your word, it stands forever. Father, I confess my head is swirling and my body feels sick from the excess of this season because I have forgotten the simple things. My desire to not miss out on all the pleasures and excitement this season offers has left me vulnerable and weighed down. Even the things that are morally legitimate and may be permissible are not all beneficial. Because not all things edify or satisfy. Help us Lord to keep our minds and heart steadfast while maintaining boundaries. Your reminder for us to take heed that we may not be deceived, living our lives restrained, decently and in order. Help Your sons and daughters to live in moderation not succumbing to the plenty that vies for our attention remembering Jesus is the reason for the season. May all praise and honor be given Him and Him alone. May we be good examples to our loved ones, and they take hold of the truth early in their lives. May we spend our days loving You with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength and our neighbors as ourselves. Thank You Lord for this day to rest. Amen.
