Rejoice and Persevere

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the hope You give. We rejoice in the comfort hope provides. Please help us to persevere though the difficulties we face. We come to You in prayer. Please help us to remain dedicated to prayer as You have commanded. We know Your commands are always right.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Endure

Dear Heavenly Father, we often do not have endurance to continue the race. Thank You for the “cloud of witnesses” You tell us about in Your Word. Please help us to remove the obstacles that get in the way of running the race You have chosen for us. Please remind us to look to Jesus who started and perfects the faith. Thank You that Jesus endured the horrors of death on a cross for us. He deserves to sit “at the right hand of the throne of God”.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.

Always Faithful

It is rare that we can legitimately use terms like always and never. We sometimes use those terms when we are frustrated with things that don’t seem to be going well. One time we can use the term always is in regards to God’s faithfulness. I am so thankful that despite my lack of faithfulness, God is still faithful. This gives me daily hope.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your faithfulness. I am grateful that You remain faithful despite my lack. The hope You provide is so needed for the challenges we face. Please help us to cling to Your faithfulness and remember that hope.

I pray this in Jesus’ name.

God is so good.
