"Your Faith May Not Fail"

I find it interesting that Jesus told his close friend and disciple, Peter, that Satan had asked to "sift you as wheat." (Luke 22:31-32) That's just like the enemy to do everything he can to ruin us. But Jesus said, I have prayed for you Peter "that your faith may not fail." Jesus knew what Peter was going to do. He knew Peter was going to deny and disown him, yet he still prayed that Peter's "faith may not fail." He didn't pray that Peter would not deny Him, He prayed that Peter's "faith may not fail." And then he prayed that when Peter had "turned back, strengthen your brethern."

When we make a mistake, don't buy into Satan's lie that it is the end. Use it as a tool to "strengthen your brethern." Just because we fail at some point, doesn't mean that our "faith has failed." When you sin, keep your faith, repent, turn back to God, and strengthen your brothers. Use your mistake to help another. This is what Jesus prayed for with Peter, and that is what Peter did. Jesus does the same for you...can you do the same as Peter?
