A Prayer To Contend For The Faith
"Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about the
salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to
contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s
holy people."
Jude 1:3
You are Creator of all people, both saints and sinners alike. We
plead to you that You might consider us saints through the
power and sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Walk alongside
us today and remind us of the countless ways You have
provided for us! Free us from the bondage of sin today, and as
Paul addressed Jude, we long in this moment for You to call
us “Beloved.” Holy Spirit, embolden us to action, transform our
hearts of “assured apathy” into hearts of “loving conviction,”
and motivate us to accept the charge to “contend for the faith.”
In the name of the One who is the Only Begotten, Christ Jesus.
Amen.
