LET US NOT BACKSLIDE

Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Father, we understand that there will be ups, downs, and unexpected turns in our walk with Christ, Lord, please hold our hands and let us not stumble on Your path. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit, so we will not think about our undesirable ways.  Father, let us not forget to pray, study the Word, or fellowship with other believers to help us not backslide.  Lord, order our steps in Your will, so we do not deliberately indulge in a life of sinful pleasures, but focus on the things of the spirit. Father, help us understand that our backsliding will also sadden and bring grief to our loved ones, as well as turmoil in our lives.  Lord, let our guilt and Your Word give us conviction, correction, and guidance so we can stand on Your Word without wavering. So, right now Lord, we ask for Your strength and courage to be: submissive to Your will, to study and understand the Word. Father, give us ears to hear Your voice and the patience to be still and listen. Lord, help us be mindful and always show gratitude, for Your greatness in our lives, in Jesus name Amen 🙏
