Verse: Hebrews 12:1 “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.” Application: This verse encourages us to draw strength from those who have gone before us in faith. We are reminded to shed any distractions or sins that weigh us down. By focusing on God’s path and persevering through life’s challenges, we can stay committed to our faith journey. It’s a call to action for a disciplined life inspired by the examples of others. Custom Prayer: Lord, Thank You for the cloud of witnesses who have shown us the way of faith. Help me to cast aside every burden and sin that tie me down. Grant me the endurance to run with perseverance the race You have set before me. Keep my eyes fixed on You, trusting that every step of my journey is guided by Your loving hand. In Christ’s name, Amen.
