Father God, Lord of Heaven and Earth, great and holy is Your name. Father, please help us not to be slow in pursuit of the passions You have placed in our hearts, but to be intensely passionate in serving You. We know that many tasks You require of us are impossible in our own strength, however, through You who strengthen us all things are possible. Please help us to continue working as if we work for You alone, and seek Jesus and the Spirit as our only inheritance. May we therefore be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in Your work, knowing that our labor for You is not in vain. May we seek Your approval alone, not seeking to please people, so that we are considered servants of Christ Jesus. Thank you for helping us lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him entered the cross, and is seated at the right hand of Your throne, forever and ever, amen.
