DAYSTART
FOCUS
WATCHFULNESS
Scripture repeatedly cautions us to remain vigilant in our faith—to walk carefully, stay alert, and never take our spiritual lives for granted. Even the strongest among us can become vulnerable when we let down our guard. Jesus warned Peter that Satan desired to sift him as wheat. Paul, recognizing the weakness of the flesh, committed himself to discipline so that after preaching to others, he would not become a castaway. None of us wants to become a spiritual casualty because we grew careless with our faith. We want to remain watchful, stand strong, and represent the Kingdom well. Watchfulness will be our focus this week during DayStart.

Matthew 26:39-41 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
