“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:31-32)

Life often presents us with pivotal moments—forks in the road that test our faith, perseverance, and trust in God. In these moments, we’re faced with a choice:

  • Will you take the high road? This path leads to trusting God through trials, guarding your faith, and not letting despair or resentment take root.
  • Or will you take the low road? This path allows doubt, frustration, and bitterness to erode your relationship with Him.

The truth is, we don’t face these decisions alone. Jesus prays for you. Just as He prayed for Peter, He intercedes for us, so our faith may endure.

When you overcome your trials, you’re called to “strengthen your brothers and sisters.” Your testimony can inspire and encourage others to stay steadfast in their walk with God.
