Lord, we feel the challenge to our own hearts to be dedicated, responsible, trustworthy men and women who are not in love in the present world and will not turn back from the things of Christ, but will remain faithful to the end, testifying to the grace of God sustaining and keeping us through the pressures of life.
Thank you for these wonderful letters that encourage us to this end, until the Day dawns and every shadow flees away.
We pray in Jesus’ name,
Amen.
(Ray Stedman)

Heavenly Father,
open our heart toward others and toward you.
Break down and melt within us the resistance that we erect against others.
Make us to be of one heart and one mind with others in the body, generous in giving, glad to participate in anything that advances this marvelous work going on in the midst of a world which is rapidly drifting into darkness and emptiness and coldness.
Thank you, Lord, for the warmth of your Spirit, and for your power and your grace among your people.
(Ray Stedman)
