Hebrews 13:6
So then we say with confidence: The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?
Dear Heavenly Father,
The writer of Hebrews wrote this concerning being content with the things you have blessed us with, such as our families, homes, and money. So often, our pride and sinful desires get involved when we deal with others, and things don’t go our way, or we don’t get what we want; we can become angry and loveless toward those around us, often to our immediate family.
You have promised never to leave us and never to forsake us. You sent your Son, who took on all our sins into himself, so we have salvation through faith in Jesus. With our sins forgiven, your plan of salvation restores us to you, accomplished through Jesus. You have given us your Son to reunite us with you, and with that price paid and the love you have shown us already, we can be confident that you will remain by our sides.
With you by our side, there is nothing anyone can do to us that will take us from your love. We thank you for being our helper and remaining by our side in all our trials, troubles, and challenges; we can be confident that as your believers, you are always with us. Forgive us for the times our sinful pride and desires have gotten the best of us, and we have not been loving.
We call on you for the challenges we face; you already know them, yet we still bring them to you and ask for your assistance because we cannot endure them alone. We have no reason to fear the world or the people around us because you are with us.
We pray also that when the world sees us enduring these challenges, we can share our hope and confidence in your care with them. Open their hearts to hear the promise of your love and forgiveness; please change their hearts to know and trust in you. Amen.
