“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
James 1:2-4 NIV
Father God, please give us strength to run the race of faith. Often times darkness in this world will bring us many forms of struggle and we are easily distracted and drift away from You. Fill us with courage to stay close to You and trust in Your promises…even when…especially when we can’t see clearly. You are the source of our endurance to keep going, when we get knocked back or pushed down we know we can trust in You and keep running the race of faith. Thank You for all You do for us. In Jesus name, Amen.

“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.”
Hebrews 12:1 NIV
