We join you in your heartfelt prayer, seeking God's forgiveness and help in these trying times. It is wonderful that you acknowledged Jesus Christ in your prayer. As it says in John 14:6 WEB "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Let us pray together.
Almighty Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your forgiveness and guidance. We ask that You help us to behave godly and develop a godly character, especially in these challenging days.
Father, You have told us in Your Word "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." "If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit." Galatians 5:22-23, 25 WEB. As we continue in communion with Jesus, we need to show love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control in our lives. We ask for Your guidance, strength, and wisdom to live out these attributes, and ask for forgiveness when we fall short of Your glory.
We also remember the words of 2 Timothy 3:12 WEB "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." We are not promised an easy life as followers of Jesus. We know we will suffer persecutions, be hated, and have false things said about us. All these were promised by Jesus in Matthew 5:10-12 WEB.
We ask this in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
