Watch and Pray...

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
‭‭~ Matthew‬ ‭26:41-42

Watch in Hope

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear me.

~ Micah 7:7 (NIV)

Good News of Great Joy!

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” ~ Luke 2:8-12 (NIV)

Protection

The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. ~ Psalm 121:7-8 (NIV)

A Soft Answer

1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
    but the mouths of fools pour out folly.
3 3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
    keeping watch on the evil and the good.
4 4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life,
    but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

Proverbs 15:1-4 (ESV)
