God, my Father, I woke up, as I do many mornings asking, 'Is this THE DAY?' Will today be the day You return to earth in all Your glory? Help me to live this day as though it might be my last on earth—even as I plan with the confidence of those who expect to live forever.
I'm more conscious now of my mortality—one day closer home. Yet You have much in store for Israel and Jerusalem in the End Times. I pray for peace in Jerusalem, for that is where Your promises converge and Your purposes unfold.
Give wisdom to our land as we navigate these last days. Make us alert, ready, and faithful—people who live like You're returning any moment, because every breath draws us nearer to that blessed hope.
I pray this in the strong and powerful name of Jesus my LORD. Amen.
