– Hebrews 10:36
For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.

Father,

You are the source of all endurance and strength. You have promised in Your word that You will never leave us nor forsake us, even in the midst of trials and tribulations. I come before You today, asking for the endurance to persevere through the challenges and difficulties I am facing. Help me to anchor my faith in You and not lose heart, knowing that You are working all things for my good.

Lord, in times of trial, it is easy to become weary and discouraged. I pray that You would renew my strength and give me the endurance to keep pressing on. Help me to fix my eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before him. Grant me the grace to follow his example and endure hardship with faith and perseverance.

I know that You are able to do far more abundantly than all that I ask or think, according to the power at work within me. Help me to trust in Your promises and rely on Your strength to see me through this season of testing. Thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for granting me the endurance I need to overcome every trial. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
