Philippians 3:14
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Devotion.
Let us keep pressing on to God, to Jesus, the Heavenly call and to glory land.
The Christian life is not a sprint, it is a marathon so we have to keep pressing on in order to win the prize of eternal life.
Never give up, ask God for strength from day to endure to the end.
Prayer (for you)
Heavenly Father,
I need You every hour as I journey along the narrow pathway that leads to You and to life eternal.
Please help me when I am weak, give me Your strength from day to day.
O Lord, my great desire is to see You face to face, my Creator God, and my Saviour, Jesus.
So I humbly ask for Your continued guidance and direction to live my life pleasing to You in all my ways.
Yes, Lord I will press on because there is a goal to reach, a prize to win – the upward call of Jesus Christ, and receive the gift of eternal life, through Jesus’ great sacrifice of love for me.
Please continue to help me to persevere, and never give up, so that I can be part of the family of God and receive God’s gift of eternal life through Jesus.
I love and adore You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

O, who’s like my Saviour? He’s Salem’s bright King.

I’ll praise Him. I’ll praise Him, with notes loud and clear.
While rivers of pleasure my spirit do cheer.
Yes, with Jesus we are happy and blessed forever more.
Amen.
