Help us Lord to keep the faith, so that we will receive the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award us on that Day, and to all who have loved his appearing.Fighting the good fight of the faith [firmly guarding the gospel against error]. (2Timothy 4:7) persevering and continuing, even when the road is hard. Things you has called us to.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened and empowered me, so that through me the [gospel] message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion (2Timothy 4:17) He will stand with us an give us strength. No matter how bad it seems He will never leave our side. He will see us through and give us the strength we need to keep standing. Keep following Jesus no matter the sacrifice. Remain calm and patiently endure affliction. Maintain faith in Jesus' teach the good news about Jesus.
Ascribe strength to God;
His majesty is over Israel
And His strength is in the skies.
O God, You are awesome and profoundly majestic from Your sanctuary;
The God of Israel gives strength and power to His people.
Blessed be God! (Psalm 68:34-35) Power belongs to God, it is He that “gives power and strength to his people". Psalm 35 shows us that God will vindicate his faithful servant, for our endurance in faith. God has sovereign rule as the great King over all things. God rules over creation itself and over all nations.
For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-- he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other.
You are God and therefore your promises can and must be believed. You are sovereign over all and as the King ruling in it, and for it.
I will lift up my eyes to the hills [of Jerusalem]--
From where shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber [briefly] nor sleep [soundly].
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your life.
The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in [everything that you do]
From this time forth and forever. (Psalm 121:1-8) There is no other god and no other helper but the One who has made us. All of our help comes from God and God alone. Our God watches over us at all times. He doesn't grow tired or weary as we do. You are the Maker of heaven and earth and our help in times of trouble. You are our protector who keeps our feet firmly on the ground. We can trust You never sleep and always have Your good plan in mind for our life.
God's Plan is another way to say God's will for us. There is God's ultimate plan or will for all of humanity; His desire to have all people come to know Him through Jesus Christ.
