Matthew 26:41 (MSG) 41 Stay alert; be in prayer so you don't wander into temptation without even knowing you're in danger. There is a part of you that is eager, ready for anything in God. But there's another part that's as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."
Lord, search our hearts and reveal any and everything that we have allowed to distract us or has caused us to walk in disobedience.

Lord, we ask that our loved ones will have a divine encounter with you and receive your salvation.
