To Finish and Follow Through
Lord God,
You have so wonderfully created us with the ambition, drive, and curiosity to engage in endeavors and to pursue projects of all sorts. What a blessing these can be in so many different ways. Where we often struggle, however, is to bring them to completion. We get distracted. We procrastinate. Frustration deters us. We’re lazy. We leave much undone for all kinds of reasons. Help me, therefore, to finish what I start and not leave so much undone. Give me the determination to see things all the way through to the end, rather than just barely started, partially completed, or even mostly finished. Let my eagerness to begin a thing be matched by my resolve to get it done.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
