Hebrews 10:26-39

Holy God, who has promised to return,

How foolish I would be to keep on sinning after coming to the knowledge of your truth. Give me the strength to forsake whatever sin I become aware of in my life. I submit myself to your examination and ask to see myself as you see me.

In the face of suffering or ridicule, I want to stand strong in truth, always aware that confidence and perseverence will be richly rewarded in the life to come.

May I not be among those who shrink back and are destroyed, but among those who hold on to faith and keep their souls.

In the name of Jesus I ask. Amen.
