Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer, and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV)
Some days the race feels like a sprint, Lord, and on other days, a marathon. On the more challenging days, please infuse my spirit with Your strength and steadfastness. I want to run and finish well. Thank you for promising not to stop working until my faith is complete.
Blessings to you all!
