God of Restoration

Father,
Thank You for the lady's testimony I heard on the radio this morning...for Your Spirit's use of her heart-warming story to speak encouragement to my hardened heart.  You are so faithful as the God of restoration, refusing to give up on us when we are tempted to give up on ourselves.
Thank You for saving that lady out of the cult of her upbringing... for the joy of hearing in her voice the unmistakable zeal of a new believer, exhilarated in finding that she had been found by You.  
In hearing her prayerful fervency for the lost, You stirred me to renew such intercession, too... Be pleased, Father, to restore the intensity, restore the yearning to see lost folk saved... to pray as if it all depended on me, while assured by Your Word that it is You, and You alone, who gives eternal life through Your Son as You see fit (John 17:1,2).
In Your risen Son's Name I plea,
Amen.
