Lord, at times I feel like my efforts to tell others how You changed my life seem to hit a wall of resistance. My prayer for my prodigal child goes unanswered. My co-worker’s disdain for the things of God hasn’t changed. When will I see the reconciliation with my sibling? “Don’t give up,” Your Spirit encourages me. “This hostility is temporary. I’m working behind the scenes.” Your Spirit reminds me how people hated You when You walked among us. Some rejected Your-message of grace, but many embraced You as Lord and Savior. Same with me. Some will reject my message as well, but some will take a deeper look to see if You are who You say You are. Lord, strengthen my faith and help me not to grow weary of telling the good news of Your grace. Your Word promises that in due time, Your love will take root in their hearts and everyone will be amazed how You transformed their lives (Galatians 6:9).
Praying for increased faith to keep telling others how good, gracious and forgiving You are, Jesus. Amen.
