Oh Lord, it is my heart’s desire to serve You and to lead as many people as possible to know You. And Lord, I know that I cannot do this on my own. Without Your presence with me, my words will do nothing good, but only stir up contention. What I need is You speaking through me at all times. As I am called to be Your witness, I pray that I will go forth and be valiant in Your sight. I would never wish that people would want to follow me, but only follow You. As people hear Your message of hope and salvation, I wish to decrease and You increase. These people need to understand the importance of the cross and the resurrection. For only then will they desire to be forgiven and desire Your mercy for their sins. Lord, I know that You are oh so merciful and just. Your ways are pure and holy, and I wish that people would come to understand this also. Then, would they know that living a life of sin is causing You, God, to grieve. How sad it is to see people who say they believe in You and then continue to willfully sin. What a waste of a life who could have been redeemed by Your blood. So it is my prayer that these people will repent, truly believe in You, and then be baptized. And if they have already been baptized, that they will come back to You. Your arms are wide open to receive them back. I just hope that they make this choice before it is too late. Surely, Your teachings and promises are true. We are either saved and will go to heaven, or will enter death and go to hell. As for me, continue to cleanse me all my sins. Help me to walk in Your holiness and no longer cling to the things of this world. I love You, Jesus. I give You praise and honor, this day and forever. Amen.
