Hebrews 12:1-2 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 perfecter of 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.//
The key to keep from sinning is to stay focused on Jesus.

Psalm 40:2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.//
Notice He does it all. 

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.//
Part of how I can test my own faith is whether or not I believe that God created the universe out of nothing.

Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.//
Greater patience comes as I pray. 

Hebrews 10:22 let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.//
Having strong faith and drawing close to God will bring healing and ultimately eliminate my guilty conscience.

Luke 18:1 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.//
Prayer is the key to not giving up. 

Hebrews 9:8 The Holy Spirit was showing by this that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still functioning.//
This is why there had to be a first covenant. Without it, we would not know that the Holy Spirit had not yet been disclosed.

Galatians 6:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.//
I need to pray that others would sense God’s grace.

Hebrews 7:25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.//
Thank You, Jesus, for saving me completely!!!

Galatians 6:17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.//
Apparently believers can cause trouble for Christian leaders. May I not be that kind of person.
