Prayer
(inspired by Hebrews
12: 1-2, 2 Timothy 4: 6-8)
Father,
Your grace has no measure and it was graciously extended to me the hour I first
believed and started my spiritual race. You not only prepared the way but You
also run alongside me and enable me to throw off those things that hinder or
weigh me down. You’ve given me an enduring spirit to stay on course during the
desirable and undesirable starts of new chapters in my life. It’s not the one
who runs the swiftest, nor the one who runs for a day, but it’s the one who
endures to the end that will be saved. I want to be among that number, and by
Your grace, I will receive the eternal rewards that come to those who finish
well. And then I start the next chapter that never has an ending; that of living
in heaven and praising You for all eternity. I can hardly wait. Amen.
