Lord, help me to remain faithful to the end setting aside any person or circumstance that may try to put me down. Give my heart the strength to keep from losing hope when I have to drink from the cup of difficulties. Fill me with your spirit of perseverance that moves me to fight the good fight of faith. I am a conqueror and I will not be defeated. Lord, I proclaim your victory over the powers of evil and I set my eyes on you, the author and the one who consummates my faith.
