“Be strong and work. For I am with you,” declares the Lord Almighty

Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on
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 perfecter of faith.
