Watchful unto Prayer
Continually
(Alma 34:39; Moroni 6:4; Luke 21:36)
BY ELDER DAVID A. BEDNAR
Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
...spiritual complacency and
casualness make us vulnerable to the
advances of the adversary. Spiritual
thoughtlessness invites great danger
into our lives....
Constant vigilance is required to
counteract complacency and casualness. To be vigilant is the state or action
of keeping careful watch for possible
danger or difficulties. And keeping
watch denotes the act of staying awake to
guard and protect. Spiritually speaking,
we need to stay awake and be alert to
the promptings of the Holy Ghost and
the signals that come from the Lord’s
watchmen on the towers....
Focusing our lives in and on the
Savior and His gospel enables us to
overcome the tendency of the natural man to be spiritually snoozy and
lazy.
