I think I have mentioned that Psalm 27:4 is my life verse. I have always prayed that for my life, especially the part that says, “that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.” I know people who were Christ-followers at one time and have given up, and I’ve known of others who have grown cold. I know pastors who have sinned and lost their ministries and their witness. I have prayed that God would break my heart with the things that break his heart, and he has.
Why don’t you pray this verse right now for someone you know? Pray it for yourself. I have prayed often that God would not allow me to be tempted by anything that would cause me to lose faith. To not allow me to have so much money that I forget to be generous, or forget to depend on him. I have prayed for others who have lost faith, that God would do whatever it takes to bring him close to him again. Car accident? Yes, if that’s what will do the job. Becoming unemployed? Whatever it takes. We must never stop praying, because Satan never stops preying.
