The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”  Jeremiah 17:9-10

Heavenly Father, We are so thankful that you love us in spite of all of the ways that we fail you each day, even though we do sincerely try and desire to please you.  Please make us more like Jesus every day.  Let us never tire or get distracted by this world or be discouraged by opposition or apathy of others when there are so many people who need us to shine our lights so they can find their way to you, and they don't even realize they are on the broad path to destruction.  Help us to remember that you see our efforts and everything we do for you is worth whatever it costs us in time, energy and other resources.  We know that we receive all we have from you and that you never run out of good gifts--we need only ask in faith.  Thank you for providing everything we need and for your great and glorious promises of eternal life spent with you.  We love you with a limitless, ever-increasing love.  In Jesus' name, who overcame so that we could all have the victory in Him, Amen.
