Losing heart

It is not a question of faith, but endurance. I have questioned peoples Faith many times and their responses are for the most part that they believe in God's eternal truth; He sent His Son, All who believe in Him will be saved, etc. The real question is do we as believers have the Staying Power? Are we merely in it for the good, or do we face the bad, the horrible times with a faith in His provision that brings Hope? Al of us are weak here. A tickle on our backs or an itch on our heads compared to what Christ endured and we turn tail and run abandoning the integral tenants of our faith, losing the glimpse of hope. Through this shipwreck I have learned to fight through these things. I have been called before the courts for my poor decisions and I must appear regardless of my beliefs in the matter. Off course by countless degrees and stranded in this foreign land where even those who claim kinship refuse the Kingdoms precepts. My request to the Supreme Chancellor and Author of my covenant is that He bequeaths to me full heart in these matters as I am losing what is left through this trial. Though these around me break with Him in harsh tones and actions, I pray that He keep me as Covenantially bound to His precepts. What I have done in attempting to survive and convince my kinsmen of their breaks from His will has only caused distress upon them and they have not returned to His allegiance, but I will not bow to this country, to the ways of this age nor to the heresy of this land. Lord give me strength to carry on, send good counsel I pray.
