I Peter 4:7
The end of all things is near - We are in the midst of all the turmoil and pollution and wickedness God said would be present, ever more so as the end approaches.
Therefore be clear minded - Don't get caught up in all the worldliness around me, but see through the muddle and confusion to God's Truth.
And self-controlled - Don't let my emotions run away with me when upsetting things happen.
So that you can pray - Prayer is crucial--I must have that communion with God, especially so when these "last days" are bringing turmoil and confusion and deception, I need my Father's steady hand on me to keep me faithful.
