It's both wise and necessary to keep asking God to strengthen what He's started in us. Many Christians neglect this and then wonder why they face trials of unbelief. Satan wants to flood our hearts with despair, but we often open the gates ourselves through carelessness and lack of prayer. We forget that the One who starts our faith must also sustain it.

The temple lamp was never allowed to go out—it needed fresh oil daily. Our faith needs the same constant supply of grace from God. Without it, we'll be like foolish virgins unprepared for the journey. The Creator, who upholds the world, must also uphold our faith, or we'll quickly fall.

Every evening, let's seek the Lord for the grace and strength we need. We can confidently ask Him to maintain His own work in us—"that which you've brought about for us." Think He'll refuse to protect and sustain it? Trust His strength, and darkness will not overshadow your joy and peace. Why be weak when you can be strong?

Why suffer defeat when victory is possible? Take your wavering faith and let God revive it. Pray earnestly, "Strengthen, God, that which you've brought about for us."
