Let's pray;
Gracious Lord, in the hallowed spaces of our hearts, we pause to lift our eyes unto You, the Author and Finisher of our faith. In the shadow of Your wings, we find refuge and the strength to press on. We humbly ask for the endurance to run the race You have set before us, not in our might but in the power of Your Spirit.
Bless us with the perseverance of Ruth, the boldness of Esther, the wisdom of Deborah, and the faith of Mary. When our limbs grow weary and our resolve wanes, remind us of Your Son Jesus, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and now sits at Your right hand.
May we live as reflections of Your love, pressing toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. We pray that when the final day dawns, and we stand before You, may it be said of us, "Well done, good and faithful servant." In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
