The risk she took on this earth for her God is imprinted in my mine and heart. We all take some risks but I know I've often chosen the risks I'll take instead of embracing the risks that truly matter to God. The risks that say I will never deny you regardless of the circumstances or consequences from this world. It's very easy to say in the face of danger that I would die for Christ...but what if I was told that if I believed in God that my child would be killed? If I hesitate for a moment what does that say about my faith? Father God, I pray that I will never hesitate to take the risks for the cause of Christ. Help me build my faith from your love and promises. Give me the insight to know the difference between Godly risks and Satan's attempts to distort the truth. I pray that I'll live my life not on my wishes and desires but by your will for my life which includes accepting the risks and trusting that you will lead me in the crusade for Christ. May those who have taken the risks and suffered in tortuous ways and even death be lifted up in the glory of your eternal love and protection. If you are in me who can stand against? Thank you for walking with me every step of the way. Teach me to be a warrior for Christ. all these things I ask in your precious son's name, Jesus according to your will for me. Amen nfudge1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10278162714869620541noreply@blogger.com
