Bible verse of the day

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV


Prayer to fight and persevere until the end

The crown is awarded at the finish line. Thank You Lord Jesus for enduring mockery, ridicule, hatred, physical abuse, abandonment, a crown of thorns, and crucifixion to a cross on my behalf.  Your unshakable perseverance inspires me to be a finisher who never quits and keeps the faith unto the end. Use me today to help rekindle the spirit of perseverance in someone who feels like quitting the race by reminding them of the crown of righteousness that awaits those who long for Your appearing and Kingdom to come. In Your name I pray.

“Life bears love’s cross, death brings love’s crown” (Dinah Maria Mulock Craik).
