     Gracious Heavenly Father, thank You for this day filled with grace and new mercies.
     Lord, bless us in our time as we seek to be as faithful as our forebears. Let our faith be filled in things that are not seen and be like a mustard seed, which has small beginning but yields large results.
     Lord, through our faith give us a vision of a future where peace and love reflect in all our transactions with our friends and neighbours.
     Lord, may we not often forget, in our weakness, Your presence with us and give in to our own decisions. May we remember Your deliverance we experienced many times in our life. 
     Lord, pardon us when we falter in our faith and doubt Your promises during the times of trials.
     Lord, let our faith not become dead without action and shrink back, but remain firm in You. Sustain and preserve us with Your word of grace through Your Holy Spirit.  
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today's Promise:
But we are not those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Hebrews 10:39
