repentance

Having seen three people get saved in two days at our shelter and non of them having seen anything what we call discipleship I feel pretty ashamed.

Sorry, God.
Sorry for not caring for your babies in the faith, so that they will grow and stand firm.
Sorry for not giving them the opportunity to tell about their new joy in you.
Sorry for not making sure they get instruction of how to continue to live with you victoriously.
Sorry for not sheltering them against the attacks of the enemy.
Sorry for asking you for people to get saved but not being ready to sustain them.
Sorry for not holding them up in prayer.
Sorry for not sacrificing time and effort to lead them on.

Forgive me, Jesus. Forgive us.

"If we are faithless, he will remain faithful." (2 Timothy 2:13)

God, show yourself faithful to our converts. Sustain them in your love. Don't let them be taken away. I can't do it. But help me to do what I can do.

Teach me how to care for your children. So that you can entrust me with them.
