Oh Lord, help us to keep the faith and to endure life’s trials and persecutions. Every person is different and is on their own journey with You. Some people have believed for some time and are anxiously awaiting their time to die and to be with You for all eternity. There are also people who have believed for some time and have since left the faith or are now living in willful sin, of which I pray that they will return to You before their last breath. As for the baby Christians, who are just now coming to know You as their Lord and Savior, keep them going strong in the faith. May they find good Christians to fellowship and to be friends with. The lights that we carry, because of You, can be a huge difference in one person’s life. This is especially true when people are desiring to know what is right and what is wrong. We all have a lamp, but if there is oil in it is another question. So I pray that more people will be found seeking Your hand and being led by the Spirit. That they will come to You, crying out in all their confessions. I was once lost, closed off, and never all in for many years. Thankfully, my heart and mind were humbled enough to find You. Yes, God, You are my first love and my greatest delight. I love and honor You with all my heart, mind, and strength. Be near me all my days. Amen.
