Fill Us With Conviction

We pray, O God, that you fill us with conviction that the Gospel brings life for all.  Let your nearness inspire us to boldness, diligence and patience.  May none of us rely on outward appearance or fleeting praise.  Make us one with all  believers as we hold fast to the things which endure and rejoice in having seen you in different and wondrous ways.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
