But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
But I've been praying for you, that your faith doesn't completely fall apart. And when you get back on track, help lift up everyone else who's struggling too.
Even when you mess up, someone's praying for your comeback, and your comeback can help others find theirs.
