Your Nightly Prayer 🙏🏾 Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” HEBREWS 12:2 DEVOTION Based on Hebrews 12 This verse reminds us to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who began and perfected our faith. He endured suffering joyfully because He saw the eternal purpose beyond the pain. His victory over the cross encourages us to persevere through trials, knowing that our struggles are temporary compared to the glory that awaits us. Jesus exemplifies endurance, faith, and unwavering trust in God. When we focus on Him, distractions, fears, and hardships lose their power over us. He strengthens us to keep running the race set before us with confidence in His plan. Take a moment tonight to shift your focus to Jesus. Breathe out discouragement, and breathe in His strength. Ask Him to help you endure with faith and joy, knowing He has already secured the victory. A.C.T.S. REFLECTION ADORATION: Praise Jesus as the perfecter of your faith, the One who endured the cross and is now victorious. Worship Him for His love, sacrifice, and triumph over sin and death. CONFESSION: Reflect on times when you’ve lost sight of Jesus, focusing instead on your struggles. Confess any doubts, fears, or distractions that have pulled you away from trusting Him. THANKSGIVING: Thank God for the endurance and strength He gives through Christ. Express gratitude that He has walked the path before you, making way for your victory. SUPPLICATION: Father, help me to fix my eyes on Jesus. Teach me to trust in His perfect plan, even in trials. Give me endurance to run my race with faith, knowing that my hope is secure in Him. Let His joy strengthen me, and may my life reflect His victory. PRAYER “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” HEBREWS 12:2 Dear Jesus, Your commitment to carry to the cross for our shame is a testament to Your unwavering will and resolve. You didn’t consider suffering as a reason to run, rather, despising sin and shame You ran towards suffering. I pray that I would have a fraction of that same resolve. I pray You would anoint me and fill me with strength to endure whatever trials come my way. All for the sake of Your kingdom, Lord. In Your name, I pray, Amen. 🙏🏾 PRAY FOR YOUR COMMUNITYBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jarvis-kingston--1517583/support.Repent and Get Baptized
