day, as the temptations not to do so are many. We must fight our
doubts and the abundant evil that lurks in our presence. The grace of
God is plentifully available to each of us as long as we follow God˅s
important lessons passed down through the ages. In our humanness,
we will not be perfect, but our efforts will be rewarded through our re-
quest for forgiveness and our Lord˅s abundant love.
Prayer
Dearest Heavenly Father,
We place our desires to be faithful followers of Your words into Your
loving hands. While we aspire to be among the truly faithful, we ask
your forgiveness in those times when we stray and lose our way.
May we forever be mindful that it is through the difficult trials of life
that we grow spiritually and the joys that follow are our rewards be-
stowed upon us by You and Your amazing grace. We pray these
words in deep devotion to You, Our Creatorˎin Jesus˅ name. Amen.
