Prayer of Abiding

Dear Lord Jesus,

In the quiet chambers of our hearts, we come before You. We recognize that following You is not a fleeting commitment but a lifelong choice—a daily surrender of our will to Yours.

Grant us persistence, O Savior. Just as an alcoholic in recovery cannot have just one drink, we acknowledge that our faith journey involves continuous abiding in You. Strengthen our resolve, for we long to remain rooted in Your love.

Teach us trust, Master. When doubts assail and storms rage, help us cling to Your promises. Our faith rests in You alone—the One who holds the keys to eternal life. In You, we find refuge, purpose, and hope.

May our lives be a testament to Your grace. As branches connected to the Vine, may we bear fruit that glorifies Your name. Let our marriages reflect the sacred bond between Christ and His Church—a love that transcends time and space.

Lord Jesus, we turn to You. You offer eternal life, and there’s no better place to abide. Transform us, mold us, and draw us closer each day. May our hearts echo the psalmist’s words: “I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken” (Psalm 16:8).

In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.
