Prayer for Perseverance

Dear Lord, we thank You for Your call upon our lives and for the power of Your Holy Spirit at work within us. We worship You for all You are and especially adore You for Your ever-present help and Your regenerating work within us. With these, Lord Jesus, we thank You that You pray for us constantly, along with the Holy Spirit, knowing the depths of our needs better than we do. What a blessed privilege we have in You, precious Lord.

We pray for perseverance in our walk with You. As believers in general and in our calling as teachers, let us embrace the challenges set before us, knowing that we’re drawn closer to You through each one. Lead us to Your Word of encouragement, and a deeper knowledge of You as we continue. When life is painful, teach us to call on You as Your beloved children, trusting Your love will see us through.  When we’re faced with challenges, fatigue, confusion, or despair, energize us through Your Holy Spirit to work for Your glory until all is complete. Remind us that we have access to You by faith and rejoice that You hear and attend to our prayers. Let us celebrate Your promises for us during times of suffering: endurance, character, and hope are Your gifts to us in each situation. Similarly, give us hearts to praise You that our faith steadfastly grows during challenges. You alone accomplish these beautiful gifts, Lord. Be glorified in our lives as we continue in our work. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen
