El Sali, The Lord Our Rock

Our Father God, El Sali, You are the Lord, our Rock. You are our great support, the bastion of our faith. You created the heavens and the earth, and we know of Your great might. Like a great rock, You stand unmoving against the tides of unrighteousness. Forever You are with us, forever we are not alone.

Father God, you are our great foundation. Because of You, we can stand firm. Because of You, we do not fear. Even in times of tribulation, we shall not fall, because You are holding onto us. And we are grateful.

Father God, we know of Your love for us. And we pray with all our hearts that You continue to hold us close to You. Keep us steadfast in the faith. Help us to never waver.

Our hearts are weak, for we are human. Given time, we easily lose sight of You, O Lord, we lose sight of what is important. Because we are faint-hearted, we fail to cling to Your instructions, and we fail to live godly lives. We deviate from the path, because of our lack of maturity. We no longer look solely at the gates of heaven, because we look at other things. We look at things of little value, and fail to focus on Your glory.

Father God, though we are weak, continue to hold us close to You. In times of our weaknesses, help to us look to You as our great foundation. Help us to focus on You.

You are the rock upon which we stand. And we shall never stumble, for You are solid ground. Though the world around us may crumble, we are safe when we stand with You. When we place our trust in You, we shall never falter. Father God, we pray with all our hearts, be our Rock, and hold us firm.
