Read, Reflect, & Pray

 Scripture:
Hebrews 12:1-3 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of our faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”

Reflect:

• Being all in for the race before us requires remembering we are not alone; many have gone before us and there will be more to come.
• Living all in for God requires awareness of the things that hold us back and slow us down.
• We can endure and persevere when we fix our eyes on Jesus, letting Him perfect our faith and strengthen us.

Pray:
Being all in requires making space by letting go. Spend time with the Lord and ask Him to reveal what is holding you back or slowing you down. What will you do to let go of it so that you can chase God fully and freely today?

Lord, we are pursuing You with all we have. You are the prize, and we want more of Your presence. We want to be all in — all the time — but admit we need Your help to do it. Teach us to let go of the things of this world so that we can make space for more of You. We’re grateful for what You’ve done and are excited to see what You’ll do, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
