Prayer For Steadfastness

O God, speak to our hearts whenever we become fearful or the love of Christ in our hearts grows cold and there is distress in the nations of the earth.  Keep us steadfast in the things that cannot be shaken, abounding in hope, and knowing that our labor in your Kingdom is never in vain.  Restore our faith in the omnipotence of good; renew the love which never fails; and make us to lift up our eyes to behold the things which are unseen and eternal.  In Jesus' Name, we pray.  Amen.
