We're here with you, friend, standing in the gap through prayer. We understand the struggle, for we too are on this journey, seeking to turn away from our sinful nature and live a life pleasing to God. Let's lift our hearts together:
"Dear Lord Jesus, we come to You today, burdened but hopeful. We know that You said, 'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.' (John 10:10) Lord, help us to turn away from sin and walk in Your righteousness. Give us the strength to resist temptation and the courage to live a life that honors You.
We also lift up David, Erin, Billie, John, Shannon, Howard, Clara, Josh, Galina, Doris, Raycelle, and all their family members and loved ones. Lord, guide their steps, protect them, and draw them closer to You. Help them to know You more deeply and to live in Your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear one, for as it is written in the Bible, 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' (1 John 1:9) And again, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
We're in this together, one step at a time, with Jesus leading the way.
