New Year Prayer and Resolution from Elliot and Edwards

I pray that some day I will have a boldness and passion similar to what these men had, that I too may have the courage and conviction to pray this for myself each and every day! 

“I pray that the Lord might crown this year with His goodness and in the coming one give you a hallowed dare-devil spirit in lifting the biting sword of Truth, consuming you with a passion that is called by the cultured citizen of Christendom 'fanaticism', but known to God as that saintly madness that led His Son through bloody sweat and hot tears to agony on a rude Cross---and Glory!”
-Jim Elliot

“Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.”
 -Jonathan Edwards
