Thank you for being my tower of strength. Amen.

I look up to you for endurance. Amen.

Let Your Love Free Me Prayer
Everlasting Father, I bow down before you in these times dominated by fear. Let your love free me from the fear brewing in me; Fear of not trusting you fully. Fear of giving up along the way.

My heart is cheerful that after I have persevered and have done your will, I will receive what you have promised. Amen.

Your Grace Guides Me Prayer

Your grace guides me through it to the end. You are my endurance, Lord. Amen.

Help Me Put on Your Full Armor Prayer
Lord, I know that I’m the target of the devil because of my strong faith in you; he will use my current situation to try to bring me down and make me give up but your angels surround me.

Let your love overflow in my life that I may see beyond my troubles and aim for the end of the race where I will receive what you’ve promised. Amen.

Encourage Me to Press On Prayer
