Verses for Motivation

I can throw off what slows me down and keep running.

A Bible affirmation for motivation, rooted in Hebrews 12:1.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.

Hebrews 12:1 · BSB

Reflection

Hebrews 11 lists the heroes of faith. Chapter 12 then pictures them as a great cloud of witnesses around you. Your race isn't run alone. Throw off what weighs you down, and run with endurance.

A prayer

Lord, show me what's slowing me down, and give me endurance for my race.
