Prayer based on Luke 21:30. Themes: Hope, Awareness, Preparation.
Dear Lord, I claim the promise in your word that when the trees are budding, we know that summer is near. Just as we can see the signs of the changing seasons, help us to see the signs of your coming and know that your return is near. May we be ready and prepared for your coming, living each day in anticipation of your glorious return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Verse: When they are already budding, you see it and know by your own selves that the summer is already near.
Luke 21:30
This is a Promise. The verse is a description of how one can recognize the approach of summer by observing the budding of trees. There is no command given to the reader.
