To Imitate Those Who Persevere

Faithful Father,
As I watch my steps in life and cautiously seek to avoid the devil’s dangerous detours, I am grateful that you promise to be with me and that you also provide guidance and support. Scripture is filled with examples of believers who also experienced spiritual struggles – many of which were on a level I’ll never face! I am blessed to see how your grace allowed them to persevere, and to be able to learn from their examples and follow in their footsteps. Give me their endurance and resilience.

You also provide living and breathing examples in my life right here and now to show me the way and encourage me. Help me learn from how my fellow believers have navigated difficult paths in challenging seasons of their lives. Through their experiences, steer me clear of the pitfalls they encountered and guide me along your paths, that nothing would deter me from arriving at my heavenly destination one day.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Thank You for the Elderly in Worship

Holy Father,
Sundays are sacred. Being able to gather for worship is a blessing often taken for granted. Use the example of elderly church members to encourage us in this regard. As we age, even the little details of daily life become more and more difficult to carry out. Coupled with that are chronic pains and other health issues that would be enough do discourage many from gathering for worship. Even transportation, which presents little challenge for many, can be an obstacle for those without the freedom of driving as a result of their age.

Yet week in and week out, they regularly gather in your house for worship. These faithful, experienced believers are such fine examples for so many each week. Let us imitate their dedication and commitment to hearing your Word and receiving the Sacrament. As they are a blessing to others in this regard, let others be a blessing to them by offering assistance and help whenever needed, as well as a simple “thank you” to them for setting such fine examples of Christian faith in action. Continue to develop many more dedicated disciples just like them, including me.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
