No one had more compassion for the sick and the defenseless than Jesus. He preached the gospel to the poor, the brokenhearted, the captives, and the blind. Yet this man of tender mercy demanded that his disciples build grit.  Discipleship demands that having put our hand to the plow, we never look back! (Luke 9:62) Brother Singh's exhortation today urges us to persevere through every ordeal. He no longer prays just for our healing or deliverance but that God's will be accomplished in our lives. As Jesus did for Peter, he prays that our faith fails not! (Luke 22:31-32)
