Prayer 4 Today

"Father, how grateful we are for those who've gone before us showing us the way.  They not only instructed us in the ways of the Lord but they lived exemplary lives so that we could see faith in action.  We're grateful for their positive examples in our spiritual journey.  We even pause to think of those who have taken a wrong direction only to turn away from all they held dear at one time.  Would You remind us of the serious consequences of their sinful choices when we're tempted to do the same.  We lift those people before You asking the Holy Spirit to convict and guide them back to the Way, the Truth and the Life.  Keep us faithful to the very end so that as time unfolds we can declare with the apostle Paul, 'Now I am old and praise be to God I am by His grace a prisoner of Christ Jesus, my Redeemer!'  

In Jesus' Name, Amen."
