Lord, this life is a marathon! Help us to run the race with endurance. Let us not lose site, of the hope we have, and the crown of life we will receive. Not because of what we have done, but what Jesus has done on the cross, and resurrection, and through his Holy Spirit, working in us. Thank you, Lord.

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12 NASB

Father, may our hearts be filled with thankfulness, as we surrender to you.  May your peace overwhelm us as we go out and live our lives today.


Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15 NASB

Lord, may our hearts be stirred up, knowing you have our backs, and you care deeply about us.  We are your workmanship, created for good works, that we might give you glory.


Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
Galatians 6:9 NASB
