And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. (Hebrews 11:6)
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us. (Romans 5:1-5)
Heavenly Father, You are all goodness, mercy and light. You are the answer to every question and difficulty. Through You and the Son, all things were created and through all things You will be glorified. You are the Great I Am the God Who knows all of our troubles even before they happen and sends help to us even before we petition You in Heaven.
Dearest Father, wash me clean in Your Sons sacrifice that I might approach Your throne blameless and justified. You told me that through this time, satan would tempt and provoke me with everything at his disposal, and now the sin I feared the most has the potential for asserting itself. Forbid this, Mighty God or at least give me the willingness and ability to resist this great temptation. Let this situation grow and blossom only under Your guidance and in the manner blessed by You.
Almighty God, we Your sons and daughters are all coming under great and prolonged attack by the evil one for our faith and trust in You. Help us to persevere and grow in Your Word. Refresh us and strengthen us so that exhaustion and discouragement do not turn us from the tasks You have placed before us. Send Your Comforter to us, Dear Father, that we might be assured of our righteousness through our Savior Jesus Christ. Help us in every way to encourage and inspire each other through prayer and words of support, let us truly become one family in You. Thank You Father! In Jesus name I ask these things, that we may bring honor and glory to You alone
Amen!
