Prayer for endurance

"Therefore do not cast away your confidence which has great reward.
For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. " -Hebrews 10:35,36
***
(And the promise is...)
***
"For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." -Hebrews 13:5
****
Oh Lord!, I have need of both endurance and confidence today! I am so, so tired of feeling bad physically and feeling spent emotionally. Renew me, Father. I cry out to You. -(this morning's journal entry)

My prayer during radiation tonight was for a new glimpse of God's divine plan in this unpleasant phase of my life. I try to remind myself 'all things for good' but I need my confidence renewed to help me hang on with the necessary endurance. Someday I hope to hear Him say "well done" and not "You took the long way home."
