A Prayer During Times Of Darkness

Father, Your Word admonishes us to “Contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.”  There are many obstacles that will lead us astray as we contend for the faith if our eyes become fixed on the obstacles. Instead, we want to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author, and Perfecter of our faith, who set His eyes on the throne of God, enabling Him to endure the cross, its shame, and agony.  Fix our eyes on the goal of heaven where all will finally be made perfectly clear when we see Jesus face to face.  In the meantime sustain us through Your mercy, grow our faith, and help us to take as many as possible with us to our eternal home in heaven. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
