Today's Devotion

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Hebrews 12:1

Dear God, I want to run the race you have marked out for me with perseverance, strength and focus. I want to be physically, emotionally and spiritually prepared to endure the long run ahead of me. I don't want to tire too quickly and fall from weakness, sin and unnecessary things that weigh me down. Show me what I nee to throw off in order to run your race with greater ease. Whether it be something big or small, good or bad, I don't want to hold onto it if it is going to slow me down or cause me to stumble. I want to make it to that finish line! I want to celebrate that victory with you! With all my love and trust in Jesus' name Amen.
