Psalm 41:2 “The Lord will protect him and preserve his life ; He will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.”
Intercessory prayer…pleading on the behalf of someone else takes discipline, perseverance, and determination. It can be exhausting and draining, but the reward is realized in this passage… the Lord’s Hand of protection… keeping ,blessing, and safeguarding that person you have interceded for.
II Thessalonians 3: 13 ” And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is right.”
Perseverance…to continue steadfastly, especially in something that is difficult or tedious. This verse exhorts us to not give in to trouble, or to become exasperated by difficulty. We are to persist…not losing heart and giving in to discouragement. As I’ve heard it said somewhere before…When you’re at the end of your rope…tie a big “God” shaped knot, and hang on!
