Heavenly Father, our fortress and strength, grant us all we need when we face difficulties and conflict, that we would be able to stand secure in you, not crumbling under pressure but rooted and supported in your love, through Christ Jesus our savior, who loved us to the end and now lives forever with you and the Holy Spirit in perfect joy. Amen.
‘As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet such a person has no root but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away.’ – Matthew 13:20-21
