Prayer

Pray today’s Scripture back to God:
Dear Father, Keep me from being like Demas, who loved this present world and deserted Your servant. Help me to remain true to You and to Your people. Strengthen me to fight the good fight, to finish the course, to keep the faith, remembering that in the future there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Jesus will award to me on that day; and not only to me but to all who love and long for His appearing. In Jesus’ name I ask this, Amen.
