Careless

 It was early morning and I had about 4 days work loaded onto that day’s schedule, with no hope of getting even half of it done. I glanced at my Prayer List and was wondering if I could skip it for one day…

You will use the time to pray or you will use the time to fight off the attacks. You choose.

Wow, so I could act now by praying ahead of time or react later by having to fight battle after battle, but passivity would never be an option.

My children, you are so careless with your time. You see prayer as expendable when it has never been more needful. You see your hours as unimportant when just one hour can completely change the course of someone’s life, if only you will apply it to intercession.

You pray for Me to bless you, yet you do not the things I repeatedly request that you do – intercede for the lost souls I so wish to save.

You neglect these, and prayers of protection for yourself and your loved ones even as the world around you grows darker and more evil by the minute.
