Today’s Verse:
"Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." - James 4:14

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

There is this christian song "Who am I" that talks about us as the children of God. There are phrases like "Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star, Would choose to light the way, For my ever wandering heart". Father, we would say that it is by the Your favour that the bright morning star would light our way, it is by Your grace that our sins are being forgiven, it is by Your love that we are sheltered and protected from the wind and storm and hardships along our way.

Everyone has a life. Our average life span is between 75-80 years of age. It is written that our lives are like a mist, is here one minute and gone already in another! Father, what do you want to tell us actually? That life is short, so we should have all the fun that we can?

Father, because life is short, therefore we should not spend time waiting, but spring into action on things, since we don't have forever. So if we want to learn to play the piano or guitar, then perhaps we should stop talking about it and start taking lessons! Or that we want to visit the Holy Land, then perhaps we should call a travel agent. Or that we want to feel better, then perhaps we should start exercising or jogging!

Father, we want to love you, to know Your words, so Father, help us to make an effort, to read a verse or two everyday. Help us not to say "Next time, next time." all the time. Don't wait and take action now!

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
