Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Most of us would admit that there were times in our lives where we wandered away from the Lord. Maybe not consciously, but our decisions were cutting us off from His grace. Eventually, usually months, years or decades later, we had a moment of clarity, an awakening to our waywardness and now feel forever blessed to have eyes that see and rest in the comfort that we have a Lord who never abandons us.
Harder now, especially after our own journeys, is to see beloved family members who have drifted, not sensing their own spiritual danger. Perhaps the Lord pulled you through your own danger zone just so you could one day become a prayer warrior for your family and friends.
If anyone sees his brother sinning, if the sin is not deadly, he should pray to God and he will give him life. This is only for those whose sin is not deadly. There is such a thing as deadly sin, about which I do not say that you should pray. 1 John 5:16
Don’t despair or give up in your efforts to seek the conversion of a loved one. There are many saints who will tell you the Blessed Mother guided them to Jesus and still more who will attest to the power of grace and the unfathomable love of God! Keep praying and witnessing to the Truth!
Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear. I Peter 3:15-16
May one day we all praise Him:
He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Colossians 1:13-14
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Never lose hope. Pass it on!
