1. Pray
Cultivating a vibrant prayer life is a foundational goal of the Christian life, but even more necessary in being ready to meet Jesus face to face. Someone once compared prayer to a phone conversation with God in which the line is always open and the phone is never hung up–you can always pick up the phone and talk to your Heavenly Father. This is the kind of relationship with Jesus that Scripture encourages us to have, and if we do, we will likely be ready to meet Him whenever He returns or takes us home to be with Him.
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people” (Ephesians 6:18).
