When we’re faced with struggle, it can be hard to make yourself continue. In fact, you may be facing something so difficult that you can’t force yourself to go on. Fortunately, we have access to a strength that is far greater than anything we can experience on our own.
If you are facing something that leaves you feeling like you don’t know how you’re going to continue, ask God to endue you with the kind of persistence that you need. He is faithful, and He will strengthen you.
Pray These Verses
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
Let us not become wear in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
James 1:2-4 (NIV)
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Luke 11:9-10 (NIV)
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Pray This Prayer
Heavenly Father, You see the fact that I am completely overwhelmed by the things that I’m facing. There are times where I don’t know how I’m going to go on. If I’m being honest, there are times where I’m not completely sure that I want to keep trying.
I am frustrated, I am fatigued, and I am scared. Today, I resolve that I will not quit. While I am feeling tired and frustrated in the process, Your Word declares that there is a harvest of blessing for those who do not give up. I know that I don’t have the kind of strength in my own flesh to face what’s in front of me, so today, I ask You for help.
I need You to empower me with the levels of perseverance and persistence that I need to keep going. I know that if I allow perseverance to be made manifest inside me, I will reach a point of completion that I have never experienced before. Today, I commit to asking, seeking, and knocking until I overcome the obstacles in front of me. In Christ’s name, Amen.
Thank God
Heavenly Father, thank You for the power of the Holy Spirit that I know is actively working in my life. I know that the only way I am going to overcome the things that I’m facing is through Your perfect power and presence.
Thank You for providing me with everything I need in order to live the life of victory that You have promised to all Your children. Thank You for rewarding those who do not give up. In Christ’s name, Amen.
