Prayer of Watchfulness

A line in the nightly prayer before going to sleep:

Perhaps tonight, Lord.

Remember that one should get ready for the return/rapture of the Lord.

A line in the morning prayer after waking up from rest:

Perhaps today, Lord.

Remember that one should get ready for the return of the Lord in a day's work.

Be on alert!

Time is short, and the days are evil.

Work for the Lord earnestly, and as if it is the last day. Be faithful to the end!

Some Christians even open a window and pray to the air, to express an outward faith, expectation, and direct the heart to reach out to the Lord. Christian life is not a trapped life. There is always a way out. There is freshness, just as there is fresh air.

There is outward witness.
