 a prayer for when your family loses their faith by Molly law read by Liam Martin
 we all like sheep have gone astray each of us has turned to our own way and the lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all
 Isaiah 53:6
 I recently had a conversation with one of my sister's about our other sister
 my other sister mentioned she sort of like crystals and believed in phenomena such as getting feelings or premonitions about death this threw me for a second my sisters and I grew up in the same house with the same faith in the same source of Salvation when I voiced my concern to my sister she said that if someone can find peace through any means then why take that away from them she also said that her sister was saved because the Bible says that nothing can take that away from her
 her relationship with the one who saves is virtually dormant while I know this is true and believe that my sisters are still saved as they declared their love for Christ with their hearts Romans 10:9 I found myself becoming increasingly scared sad and hurt that you're not experiencing a loving and close relationship with Christ
 I can empathize with my sisters like I said we were raised in the same church in the same Christian High School in that environment we were taught that our actions were directly connected with our faith and salvation it was a legalistic culture that heavily preached toxic messages especially around abstinence and Purity culture and as an adult I know the damage and told that to I'm still healing and reconciling what I was taught with my relationship with the Lord now where is I've been hurt by that and another church community group I still love and have an active relationship with my savior
 this conversation with my sister also convicted me deep down I always known that my faith was a little stronger than my sisters but I was Secure in the knowledge that they knew and loved the Lord and because of my mother they were in Christian spaces but as We Grew Older and let her own lives I forgot to check in on their spiritual health I turned Inward and only focused on my faith in life I trusted it they still carry the face we grew up with and my heart still aches knowing they're not close to the one I know it's my father friend comforter Prince of Peace
 it makes me think about how this would affect my Outlook spreading the gospel to everyone around me
 would I be compelled to share the gospel with anyone else if their distance from God hurt me just as much as it does to know that my own sister's don't have an active relationship with the Lord
 as a follower of Christ I've been called to spread the gospel to be a fisher of men and that means within my own family and the world around me and I've been suppressing that call Eva ignoring it
 but hearing my sister's admit they've drifted away or the weekends that call in me and I pray that it will for all of us today
 let's pray
 dear Lord I pray for everyone who doesn't know you
 I pray that you will pursue their hearts and bring those who love you to share your love with him I pray that I can be that person to be placed in the path of someone who needs you
 be with our families who may know of you but don't know you
 I pray that we can be your light and begin to plant that renewal and see you grow it
 I pray that we don't ignore Our Calling to share the gospel message of Salvation I pray that we don't forget fate of everyone who doesn't call on your name I also pray that even though we know that someone is saved that we don't just become complacent I pray that we come along their faith Journey so that we can disciple one another being called to share the message of Salvation doesn't mean we abandon others right after they're saved we're also called to disciple and be part of a community of believers
 Lord we pray for our families and friends and those around us who don't know you or who knew you but if become apathetic or if gone astray
 I pray that we can be the light to bring them to you to bring them back to your love and comfort
 we love and trust you with all our hearts Our Father our savior
 in Jesus name amen
