Prayer for new Christians

[psycmajor]

Luke 15:3-10
3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: 4 "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' 7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. 8 "Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!' 10 Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

I can guess that at any given time, someone in the world surrenders to Jesus. It is a beautiful, marvelous thing. The thought brings tears of joy to my eyes.

My prayer tonight is that those who are but "babes in Christ" (1 Corinthians 3:1) will continue in their relationship with Him. These people need spiritual nourishment. What good is a relationship with God that has gone to the dogs, anyway (I say that to my own shame, as well)?

I pray that they continue to seek God, not to impress people, but out of a sincere desire to be reconciled with Him.

Please pray with me.
