Today's Focus: Virtue of Perseverance
On this eighth day, we pray for growth in the virtue of perseverance.
Prayer for Day 8
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for Your many blessings and the protections you offer us. We humbly ask You today to bring about the ultimate defeat of evil in the world.
You call us to be persistent in prayer even when it seems as if You do not hear us. In the battle against evil, it can be easy for us to become discouraged because the forces of evil seem so strong. We must grow in the virtue of perseverance as we fight against the work of the devil.
Please bring about the triumph of Your goodness over all evil. And we particularly ask today that You help us and all people to grow in the virtue of perseverance.
Help us to do all we can to grow in holiness. Give us the grace to submit ourselves fully to You in every circumstance.
