FJWL_01:319
         (Dad:) You've got to learn to be prayerful, cautious and desperate, lest you fall prey to the devices of the Devil. For the Devil goes about as a roaring lion, seeking to destroy you, to hurt you, to injure you, to wipe you out in any way he can. It's a spiritual warfare, and that warfare does not cease, but continues day in and day out, 24 hours a day! You've got to be on your toes! You've got to be in the Spirit, deeply in tune with God. You've got to follow God. You've got to love Jesus. You've got to "for God's sake follow God!" I've said it year in and year out, in Letter after Letter. I've pleaded with your parents, I've pleaded with you kids, and I continue to plead in the halls of Heaven. I don't stop praying for you!
         So get this lesson and get it right and get it down: You've got to be very prayerful, very desperate and very cautious! Being prayerful is not enough; you've got to be careful too. You've got to be prayerful and careful--seeking the Lord always in prayer and supplication! Look out for one another, pray for one another, love one another. Lay hands on one another in prayer. Lay hands on your drivers. Don't let that driver drive without laying hands on him first and praying for him. Lay hands on your vehicles and pray for them!
         Be careful for your lives! Be careful what you eat! Turn out the lights and save on your utilities. Live the life of a missionary! Be revolutionary! Be saving! Be loving! Think of others. Pay attention to all these things that I've told you, for they are life and they are the way you should live your lives. They're for your good and for your training and for your upbringing (ML #3054).
