As Christians face the daily pressures of life, ask the Lord to give them the strength to fix their eyes on Jesus who is the author and perfecter of their faith. Pray that they can see how Christ endured the cross with the joy set before Him and that He is not only the author of their faith but also the perfecter of it. Ask that these brothers and sisters will find renewed strength in Jesus’ suffering as they endure to receive the eternal reward for which we all long (Hebrews 12:2).
