Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. Then you will not become spiritually dull and indifferent. Instead, you will follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance.
- Hebrews 6:11-12

God of promise, press in us a steady diligence that holds to the very end. Guard us from drifting into idleness and orient our hearts toward the full assurance of hope that belongs to those who persevere.
