Hebrews 12:1

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.  Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

As we celebrate the anniversary of the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving to God, we remember their passionate pursuit of freedom to worship and freedom from tyranny.  We have enjoyed the fruit of their sacrifice in our nation.

Father God,

We thank you for the godly heritage of our nation.  Please forgive us for using our freedom as an excuse to do unholy things.  We throw these weights off and run toward you.  Jesus, you are our goal and our prize!   Thank you for the incredible strength you showed in faithfully going to the cross.  Thank you for your endurance, your humility, and your authority.  Strengthen our hearts for the challenges ahead.  Father, wash away our weariness.  Remove hope deferred.  Help us to finish well and strong like You did. Teach us to walk the paths of life, never giving up!

We honor you and we love you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
