Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I come before You today, humbly seeking Your guidance and strength. Life can often be challenging, and at times, I find it hard to continue. It’s during these moments that I especially need Your wisdom to understand and Your power to persevere.
I choose to trust in You, O Lord, for I know you are the source of my strength, my help in times of need. I pray that You equip me with the spirit of perseverance—to withstand, to endure, and to keep moving forward even when the going gets tough.
In my moments of weakness, remind me of Your steadfast love and unfailing grace. Teach me also, Father, to trust in Your timing when answers seem delayed. May I learn to wait with patience and joy, for Your word promises that those who wait in faith will renew their strength.
I beseech You to instill in me a persevering spirit. May my faith not waver, and may my actions reflect my trust in You. Lord, allow this perseverance to build character in me, producing a hope in my heart that is rooted solely in You and Your promises.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
