“Simon, Simon, listen! Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank You for never giving up on us as Satan continues to sift us like wheat.

Thank You for the power of faith to return us back to You. Thank You for so readily accepting us back. Thank You for the heart transformation that is performed when we surrender to You, turning away from the world and its ruler, Satan.

Thank You for the encouragement that once we turn back, we pull others into the boat, strengthening all.

I pray for continued protection for me and my family against Satan’s demands as we work to defeat him and invite others to You, to peace and love. Lord Jesus, amen.
