1 & 2 Timothy Sample

We must never forget that when you live for Christ, you will find yourself in many different battles. Satan will come against You to discourage you, disqualify you and make you want to stop running your race for God. But don't stop. Realize that while we are here, we are in the battle zone, arm yourself with God's Word, boldly pray for God to equip you for the fight and press into Him. Oh, friend, the time that we spend here is just a second compared to the eternity we will spend WITH HIM. Keep your eyes focused on the race of faith God has you in. Focus on Him and not on those around you. Run your race for His glory, fight your fight for His glory. May we all come to the end of our lives saying, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Dear Jesus,

Help me to always remember that this world is not my home. Help me to lean into You when I find myself in battles....help me fight the good fight and remember that I am never alone in them. Help me run in the race you have placed me in. Keep me focused on you and not the world around me. Place those in my life to encourage me and be Your hands and feet when I am hurting and discouraged. And help me be that for someone else, too. Amen.
