"But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant towards the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. Then you will say, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity towards those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again." (Romans 11:17-23)
Dear Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on us all,
Give us not a false sense of righteousness,
Makes us aware that our salvation,
is from You and You alone.
Have mercy on our brothers and sisters,
who have left us,
Teach us Lord, to shower them with love,
Have mercy on them,
Just as you have had mercy on us,
May you continue to send good and faithful servants,
To persevere in prayer for them.
All glory belongs to You and You Alone.
In Christ's Name, we all seek your forgiveness,
Amen.
