PRAYER
Gracious God, I'm grateful today for all the saints—the followers of Jesus—who have, persisted in faithful obedience, even when experiencing pushback for their faith. Forgive me for taking my faith development so casually. Please persist in tending to my soul, sending rain and sun to nuture the growth. I know that I can't grow myself, but I can obediently welcome your cultivation. No matter what happens, that's what I'm going to do. Amen.
