A Prayer for When Someone You Love Walks away from Their Faith By Chris Eyte "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom." - Song of Songs 2:15 I remember the very last session of the year-out discipleship course that I did with a group of wonderful men and women from a church network in the UK. Joe, the leader, (not his real name) stood in front of us all and gave a somber warning about the future, now that the year had ended. He said that statistically one person in such a group was certain to lose their faith at some point. We looked at each other nervously, and I silently prayed, asking Jesus to keep me close to him. But I also had a sense of grievance as I thought one of these incredible brothers and sisters could walk away from him one day. And I really hoped selfishly that it would not be me. |
