My final prayer
Acts 7:60
“Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.”
When you fall asleep at night what are your final thoughts about?
Are all your prayers about you?
Can you train yourself to stop praying about things that will benefit you in some way?
Can you close your eyes with a prayer of love for even people who are hurting you?
Prayer is the only way to clear the decks. To set things straight. Too many fall asleep and through the night hold prisoners in the cells of their mind.
Can you still kneel? If you can, do you? We should kneel voluntarily, but there are times when the burdens of our lives, the crush of the enemy is so great we fall under its weight. When this happens do we still cry “Lord!”?
Is He Lord when we are on our knees of surrender?
Friends there will come a day when you will fall on your knees, your body will be finally broken and you will lay down for the final time, your eyes will close and you will fall asleep away from this earth. Will you do that with Jesus as Lord? Will you do that free of any unforgiveness or hate and bitterness?
Practice it now as you go to sleep today and on that precious day whenever it is you will find it easier to do.
