Persevere

As I'm praying for men these days, I increasingly feel led to pray that they would be strong and persevere. So many of my friends are in long-running situations, and the days stretch into weeks and months.

Persevere, brothers. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, who long-suffered for us and has given us life. While we are here there is still work to do, service to give to our King.

Persevere, brothers. No matter what is going on now, or will come, this life is short and a vapor.

Persevere, brothers. No weapon of the enemy can truly harm you, and our sovereign God is working all things together for good for the men and women and children whom He loves.

Persevere, brothers. You can (and will) do much more than you think you can, because you are real men, and the Spirit of the Living God propels you forward.

Persevere, brothers. And pull other men along with you.

Persevere!
