LORD God, please increase our knowledge of you–your sovereignty, your authority, your rule and reign, your love for us, your plan and purposes–so that we would not lose hope or throw away our confidence in you. Strengthen us with all power, according to your glorious might, that we may endure with patience and much joy.
Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
Hebrews 10:35-36 ESV
