Pray For Me - See the Cost - W3 D6

With much seductive speech she persuades him;     with her smooth talk she compels him. All at once he follows her,     as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast     till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare;     he does not know that it will cost him his life. (Proverbs 7:21-23)God, the saddest line in this chapter is that he “does not know that it will cost him his life.” Smooth words talked him into it, and he never saw the price tag. I pray that ______ would see the price tag. Protect them from the kind of temptation that feels like freedom and ends in a snare. When something promises them everything and asks them to ignore the cost, give them the clarity to turn and walk away. Don’t let them be led to the slaughter, Lord. For your glory and their good, in Jesus’ name, amen.
