Isaiah 63:16-17,19,64:2-7
(16) For you are our Father, though Abraham doesn’t know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, Yahweh, are our Father. Our Redeemer from everlasting is your name. (17) O Yahweh, why do you make us wander from your ways, and harden our heart from your fear? Return for your servants’ sake, the tribes of your inheritance. (19) We have become like those over whom you never ruled, like those who were not called by your name. (2) As when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil; Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence! (3) When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence. (4) For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him. (5) You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved? (6) For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. (7) There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
Psalms 80:2-3,15-16,18-19
(2) Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your might! Come to save us! (3) Turn us again, God. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved. (15) the stock which your right hand planted, the branch that you made strong for yourself. (16) It’s burned with fire. It’s cut down. They perish at your rebuke. (18) So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name. (19) Turn us again, Yahweh God of Armies. Cause your face to shine, and we will be saved.
1 Corinthians 1:3-9
(3) Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (4) I always thank my God concerning you, for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus; (5) that in everything you were enriched in him, in all speech and all knowledge; (6) even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: (7) so that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; (8) who will also confirm you until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9) God is faithful, through whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Mark 13:33-37
(33) Watch, keep alert, and pray; for you don’t know when the time is. (34) “It is like a man, traveling to another country, having left his house, and given authority to his servants, and to each one his work, and also commanded the doorkeeper to keep watch. (35) Watch therefore, for you don’t know when the lord of the house is coming, whether at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning; (36) lest coming suddenly he might find you sleeping. (37) What I tell you, I tell all: Watch.”
