Prayer: The Patient Endurance that is in Christ

Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for loving us, for freeing us from our sins by Your blood and for making us a Kingdom, priests to Your God and Father. Forgive us for being like Esau; we eat and drink and rise up and go on our own way, thus despising our birthright that You secured for us. Our iniquities and sins are ever before us. We have forsaken Your Kingdom and have gone after other gods and have served and worshipped them. We have done worse in Your eyes than our fathers by following our own stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to You. Forgive us, O Lord. To You be glory and dominion forever and ever. Grant us the patient endurance that is in Christ. Help us hold fast to our birthright for which You paid so dearly. May we truly become people of Your Kingdom. Amen

Genesis 25.34; Jeremiah 16.10-12; Revelation 1.5, 6, 9
