Fill us with Your grace, that we may be able to move through this evil world without faltering in our faithfulness! Help us to live out here on earth, our true life, the life of Jesus, the life of Heaven!

 

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. 

⏤ Matthew 5:44 

Prayer is the pulse of the renewed soul — and the constancy of its beat is the test and measure of the spiritual life! 

⏤ Octavius Winslow

We are not of this world. And all the evil here! We are Citizens of Heaven and need to follow Jesus while here. Jesus can help us with our burdens. God can get us through anything. He gave us His son Jesus, as our example, and model of how to live and behave while here on this Earth School journey! We need to live out our true life, our life like Jesus, to follow Him to ensure our life eternal in Heaven with Jesus! This world is evil. People and the world here will always disappoint, God never will. People lie, steal, commit fraud, do many evil and selfish and greedy things, they ignore you and mistreat you, some are envious, jealous, selfish, and greedy, people will disappoint, things of this world will bring us down, we see the evil. While here we can be free when we stay away from sin and hate. We need to know we are not of this world! We belong to Heaven, we are Citizens there, not this Earth world. 

The Mornings with God App today said, "Father, it is not a holy world into which we must now go forth. It is full of sin. We must meet many temptations. Then it is not an easy life into which we have to go. It has its tasks, its duties, its responsibilities, and its conflicts. We shall have our burdens to carry and our duties to do. Yet we would not refuse to go forth into the world. It is Your voice that calls us forth—and wherever Your voice calls us, we would go without hesitation. We have no strength or wisdom of our own to make us equal to all the work and struggle of the day—but we know that when You send us forth, You will give us all the strength and wisdom we shall need. You have promised that as our days—so shall our strength be. Fill us with Your grace, that we may be able to move through this evil world without faltering in our faithfulness. We are not of the world, but belong to Heaven, and are citizens of the kingdom of Jesus. Help us to live out here on earth, our true life, the life of Jesus, the life of Heaven. May we be enabled to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. May we live so purely, so earnestly, with such abundant life, that our influence shall be a real force for Jesus. We ask for grace to make our common weekday work holy and beautiful, with the beauty of Christlikeness. May we be as Jesus to everyone we meet. In our social life, our business, our responsibilities at home, in all our friendships, in our leisure—may we show the sweetness of the love of Jesus. May You keep us, each and all, in all our goings and comings. Bless us—and use us to bless the world. Bring us together in the evening. We ask all these favors for Jesus’ sake. Amen."

Like it says above, "Fill us with Your grace, that we may be able to move through this evil world without faltering in our faithfulness. We are not of the world, but belong to Heaven, and are citizens of the kingdom of Jesus. Help us to live out here on earth, our true life, the life of Jesus, the life of Heaven. May we be enabled to keep ourselves unspotted from the world."  We need to live as Citizens of Heaven, not of this world. This world and people will always disappoint, God never will! We need to follow Jesus, imitate, and reflect Him, know that life eternal with Jesus has to be our number one priority!
