Prayer based on Luke 17:31. Themes: Urgency, Priorities, Preparedness.

Dear Lord, as I read these words, I am reminded of the importance of being ready for your return. Help me to prioritize my life in a way that reflects my faith in you. May I not be so attached to my possessions that I am unwilling to let them go for the sake of your kingdom. Give me the strength to leave behind anything that may hinder my relationship with you. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on you and not turn back to the things of this world. Thank you for your grace and mercy, and for the promise of your return. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
