But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man. Luke 21:36

This verse is even more relevant as the days of Christ’s return approaches. I’m not suggesting it’ll be tomorrow or the next day, but you never know.

Everything in life is confusing and perplexing now. It used to be that you could predict certain things to occur like clockwork. Not any more. It’s like the world’s been turned upside down. It’s a global phenomenon.

So, when Jesus tells us to be alert and to pray to have the strength, it has significance, especially given the times we’re in.

He may not explain everything that’s going on now but He will give us the peace to get through it. And peace will be something that many will need.
