1 Peter 4:7 (KJV)

7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

SOBER: To be alert, clear thinking, sound (In the Gospels this word is translated "right mind" as when the Demoniac of the Gaderense was delivered they found him clothed and in his right mind at the feet of Jesus"

The NIV translates this "clear minded"

1 Peter 4:7 (NIV)

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.

1 Peter 4:7 (NLT2)

7 The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers.

Watch - Self-controlled, disciplined

Not to pray with a frenzy but with a clear mind - disciplined -
