Don't give up

You must continue to follow the Lord your God. You have done this in the past, and you must continue to do it. ~ Joshua 23:8 (ERV)

(Christ says,) “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.” ~ Revelation 3:11 (NLT)

Lord God, even though you are completely faithful, in our weaker moments we are tempted to give up. We don't have good excuses for our flakiness. We just get tired of it all and worn down because we take our eyes off of you -- and then we lose hope. Please recharge the hope in us so that we can be faithful followers of Jesus. That's our goal. Amen.
