* Spiritual Endurance

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, 

nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor 

any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, 

which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

(Romans 8:38-39)

Thank God for Jesus!

Praise God for yet another day that He has made and allowed us to participate in. We should 

certainly rejoice and be glad in it. Remember to thank God every morning when you open your 

eyes for another day in which He chose to keep you.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! And again, thank God for Jesus, the sacrificial lamb 

who made salvation possible for everyone.

My prayer today is directed toward enduring as a strong soldier; steadfast in Christ Jesus.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or 

famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all 

day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more 

than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 8:35 – 37

At some point, we have to make up in our mind that our desire to live for Christ outweighs any

other desire we may have, any obstacles we face, including family and friends. Our desire for

Christ should be so strong that no matter what our concerns are, or our issues, or what our

situations may be, our hope in an eternal life with God should rule our actions accordingly.

God lets us know that even as Jesus suffered, we should arm ourselves likewise to suffer. To 

arm ourselves means to prepare ourselves mentally, be ready to suffer for the name of Jesus.

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the 

same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;  1 Peter 4:1

When we allow God to rule in our lives, nothing is impossible. He is the same God yesterday,

today and forever. He sees our sufferings, tears and frustrations. He knows what we are going

through in our bad times and the good thing is, He doesn’t leave us there to suffer all alone,

He is right there with us and He tells us in His word that after we have suffered a while, He will

make us perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us.  

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that 

ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 1 Peter 5:10

We need to understand that God is the author and finisher of our faith and that there is no 

greater power than that of God. That which He began, He will finish!

So we should be comforted and rest assured that by being on the Lord’s side the battle is 

already won because victory belongs to God.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  

1 Corinthians 15:57

Dear Heavenly Father, 

We come to You with grateful hearts and praise on our lips that You kept us just one more day;

that You allowed us to wake this day with our health and our strength and clothed in our right

mind. We thank You because we have a continued mind to serve You. And because we serve

and trust You Lord, we have a blessed assurance that You are our refuge and our fortress; no

battle is too big or too small for You to handle; and Heavenly Father when our situations, cares,

concerns and issues overwhelm us, we thank You because we can hide in the shadow of Your

wings, almighty God; El Shaddai!  We have safety in the shelter of the most high. We can say

with assurance that this battle belongs to You God; in You will we trust.

We know that this is a suffering way, that even as Jesus suffered, we must suffer also. Help us 

Lord to stay donned in the armour of spiritual warfare and graced with the fruit of Your Holy 

Spirit so that in all our ways, we are able to withstand and stand against the influences of evil 

and be a shining light to a dying world darkened by sin and shame. Help us Lord to be good 

laborers for You.

Help us dear Lord to throw off everything that hinders us and break every yoke of sin that so

easily entangles us. Help us to run this race with perseverance. Help us to fix our eyes on Jesus,

who is the author and perfecter of our faith. We want to hear You say, ‘well done, my good and

faithful servant, enter into my rest’.  A place where there is peace and joy forever more. Help us

not to grow weary in our good works, to have patience and wait on You for all things.

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  

Galatians 6:9

In all of our ways, You said Lord, that we are to acknowledge You; that You will direct our path. 

Lead us and guide us today; allow us to be ambassadors for You, Jesus, remembering at all 

times that we are walking in the Holy Spirit with the anointing that You, the sovereign one, the 

king of kings and Lord of Lords have placed within us.

We ask Lord that You help us to keep our minds stayed on You. Help us to be prayerful in our 

actions so that we are pleasing in Your sight. There is none greater than You Lord. It was You

who sent us Your son to purchase our salvation. We thank You Lord for the comforter, the 

precious Holy Ghost that was sent to keep us and intercede on our behalf. And with the Holy 

Ghost; your power, and the name of Jesus; our authority, we are victorious, we are more than

conquerors because there is power in the Holy Ghost and the name of Jesus, that in the name 

of Jesus there is victory, there is healing, there is salvation. At the name of Jesus, demons flee, 

yokes are broken, strongholds are cast down, and souls are saved. Through the name of Jesus 

and the precious Holy Ghost within us, we are more than conquerors, we are overcomers, and 

we are no longer victims – but we are victorious through You!

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.  

Romans 8:37

Dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, we plead the blood against everything that is not 

like You. We ask that You command Your angels to guard us in all our ways; in our comings and 

in our goings; to protect us from all hurt, harm and danger of those things seen and unseen.

Lift us up in Your righteous right hand and help us not to grow weary while doing good, help us

not to faint while fighting this fight. Keep us dear Lord; we know that You are able because all 

power belongs to You!

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.  

Psalms 62:11

We pray for increased faith, Lord God, when we call on You, to know that You will rescue us, 

that You will protect us and keep our minds in perfect peace. Help us to remain steadfast in You 

so that when we call upon You, You will not only hear our cry from above but You’ll answer us, 

You’ll be with us and deliver us in our times of trouble.

Dear God, we thank You for great and everlasting faithfulness! We thank You for Your goodness 

and for Your mercy. We know that when we walk in obedience according to Your word that You 

will supply every need we have according to Your riches in glory.

We need You, oh God, in our lives. Remember all of those who are suffering both physically and

mentally. We pray, oh Lord God that You bring peace and deliverance to those that are troubled,

that You bring comfort to those in sorrow, healing to those who are sick. We pray in the precious

name of Jesus that You bind everything that is not like you. Help us O God to keep our minds 

stayed on You!

And now Lord we pray that You be with us, that You lead us and guide us, give us wisdom and

knowledge to speak and act according to Your will; that we may be laborers in Your kingdom;

that Your manifested glory be revealed through us dear God.

We ask all these things and we thank You for all things, in Jesus' wonderful name we pray, 

amen..

Prayerfully, something was said that will bless you and keep you and that your minds will be in

perfect peace with the Lord.

In closing:

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in 

weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ 

may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

God bless you all!
