To Imitate Those Who Persevere

Faithful Father,
As I watch my steps in life and cautiously seek to avoid the devil’s dangerous detours, I am grateful that you promise to be with me and that you also provide guidance and support. Scripture is filled with examples of believers who also experienced spiritual struggles – many of which were on a level I’ll never face! I am blessed to see how your grace allowed them to persevere, and to be able to learn from their examples and follow in their footsteps. Give me their endurance and resilience.

You also provide living and breathing examples in my life right here and now to show me the way and encourage me. Help me learn from how my fellow believers have navigated difficult paths in challenging seasons of their lives. Through their experiences, steer me clear of the pitfalls they encountered and guide me along your paths, that nothing would deter me from arriving at my heavenly destination one day.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Persevere Along the Way

Precious Savior,
I know the you are the Way, and only through you has the door to heaven been opened. But I also know that along that way there will be crosses to bear that will include hardship, pain, and suffering. When these are revealed in my life, I am tempted to look for an alternative route. It would seem to be so much easier if I could simply ignore the difficulties altogether and pretend they’ll just go away. If only I could close my eyes and cover my ears to all struggles, then open them again to see that everything would be better! 

But it doesn’t work that way. I must stay the course, even when it includes suffering and pain. For what is waiting on the other side for all who persevere is better than anything we could ever imagine. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Persevere Through Adversity

Dedicated Lord,
When faced with adversity, it’s easy to want to give in or give up. Sometimes just anticipating the extra time and effort it takes to handle certain challenges is enough to take the wind out of our sails. When such struggles also require physical pain or the emotional weight of stepping outside our comfort zone, it can feel like too much to take on.

Without your strength, these types of difficulties might overtake me; but I am not without your strength. You promise to help me navigate hard things in life. Let that be the confidence I need to persevere. Help me to look up rather than give up, and remind me that there is great blessing in simply enduring and seeing things through. Grow and stretch me through adversity, so that I may be better equipped to face the next hardship, and qualified to support others through theirs, too. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
