“Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

This week’s prayer focus is on living with exceedingly great joy even when life requires endurance.  Jesus is not only the author and perfecter of our faith, He set the example of enduring all things because something better was coming.  God has surrounded us with faithful witnesses who have shown us how to live life with endurance.  Endurance as we journey through this life is a big deal because Jesus has said it is those who are faithful to the end who will receive the crown of life.  As we grow in endurance, God has not only given us an example but has given us the tools necessary to endure with great faith.  Pray that your faithful endurance would lead you in paths of righteousness.  Pray that your life would encourage others and help them to turn to Jesus for the strength to endure.  Pray that you would not become weary as you endure today with your eyes set on the joy ahead.

“The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever.  The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.”
Psalm 19:9 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to fill you with an enduring joy that helps you to endure whatever your day brings.  Pray that you would always hold fast to a healthy fear of the Lord that endures through all things.  Pray that a proper fear of the Lord would lead you to follow God’s commands with confidence.
