To Hold On to My Faith
Almighty Father,
You warn us repeatedly of the dangers of trouble, trial, and temptation. When these arise in my life, they can put my faith to the test, seeking to challenge it or choke it out. The evil one will use whatever means he can to drive a wedge between my Savior and me. If he can succeed in separating us during this life, then he will achieve his goal of stripping me of my eternal life.
Hold me fast. Send me an extra measure of your Spirit whenever I face spiritual adversity, to strengthen my grip on your powerful promises. Do the same for struggling Christians everywhere, so that your grace causes them to grab on to their faith more firmly and not let go. Extend the loving and supportive arms of fellow believers to embrace and hold up brothers and sisters in the faith when the enemy’s fighting is fierce. Hold my hand forever, so that even when I loosen my hold in my moments of weakness, I know you’ll always have me.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
