Shared Prayer

O Lord Your Word calls us to watch, to stand fast in the faith, and to be strong. Many of Your people feel pressed, tempted, and worn from constant battles in mind and body. Keep us alert, so fear does not steal our obedience and sin does not dull our love. Strengthen our faith when answers seem delayed, and make us bold to hold the line with patience and purity. We declare that the Lord our God is with us in every place, and we receive that he giveth power to the faint when we have no strength left. Thank You for sustaining those who serve others, those who suffer in silence, and those who are mocked for following Christ. Let our courage honor You, and let our lives remain faithful. Grace be with you all. Amen.
