Prayer for Strength and Endurance

Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Dear loving Father, as I go through life’s challenges in my health, finances, family, relationships, education, career, ministry, and spiritual walk, help me follow the examples of righteous men and women of faith who have gone before me. I know that everything I read in your word encourages me to have hope and endurance.

I pray that I will have faith like Abraham, for when you called him to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, he obeyed without knowing where he was going. I pray for the perseverance of Jacob, for he wrestled with you all night until you blessed him. May I wait on you like Joseph, for he received two dreams but overcame the pit, false accusation, and prison before the dreams came to pass over 20 years later. May I follow the example of prophetess Anna who never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Lord, by your strength, I will follow the example of the persistent widow who gave the judge no rest until he granted her request. Lord Jesus, when I consider how you endured such hostility, I am strengthened not to grow weary or faint-hearted. 

Lord, as you commanded the watchmen on Jerusalem walls to never rest or give you no rest until you establish Jerusalem and make her the praise of the earth, I will keep praying until you move in my situation. Although hard, I consider it pure joy as I face my various trials because I know that the testing of my faith produces perseverance, and your desire is for perseverance to finish its work so that I may be a mature believer. I also glory in my sufferings because I know that suffering produces perseverance,  perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. Father, I thank you that my present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to me in the future. I am also hopeful because my light and momentary troubles are achieving for me an eternal glory whose weight is beyond description.

I rest in the full assurance that I am more than a conqueror in You. I am confident that nothing will separate me from your love, whether it be trouble, hardship, persecution, lack, danger, death, demon, or anything else that I encounter in this world. So whether I am living in plenty or want, whether I am in the valley or on the mountain, I confidently declare that I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. So Lord, please strengthen my feeble arms and weakened knees. Thank you for working all things for my good. I am committed to rejoicing always, praying continually, and giving thanks in all my circumstances, for this is your will for me. 

Father, I commit every area of my life to your good pleasure. I ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
