Hebrews 12:1-3 encourages us to run our faith race with perseverance, especially during life's hardest moments. Building a firm foundation in Christ through prayer, meditation, church attendance, and Bible reading prepares us for inevitable challenges. When facing difficulties, we can learn from biblical examples like Peter walking on water and the woman healed by touching Jesus' cloak. Life is a marathon requiring daily spiritual practices, not a sprint. By fixing our eyes on Jesus rather than our circumstances and identifying what we can control, we can persevere through even the most difficult seasons.
