Eyes on the Prize!

Scripture
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 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 has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
~ Hebrews 12:1,2
Prayer
Holy Father in heaven, let us look today to the witnesses throughout Your word. Let us look at the lives led, the miracles performed, the faith believed, the devotion given by so many who were weak yet made strong in You. Let us turn today toward Your gospel of love that we will relish in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ who gave us mercy and grace from the cross so that we can endure till the end by His example. Amen.
Testimony
Peter walked on water until he took his eyes off of Jesus and let fear take him over. That lesson should apply to us all, especially in these times.
