Laying Aside Weights to Run with Patience
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset {us}, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
— Hebrews 12:1
As we run this race, let's remember that it's not about us; it's about God. He's the One who began this good work in us, and He's the One who will complete it. So, let's focus on Him, and let's trust that He'll give us the strength and the courage we need to keep going.
Prayer
Lord, help us to lay aside every weight that's holding us back and run with patience the race that's set before us. Give us the strength and the courage we need to trust in You and follow You every step of the way. Thank You for being our faithful companion on this journey.
