👑 Prayer of Perseverance

“Faithful God,
In this trial of ______:

• Anchor me when my emotions lie (“This will never end”)
• Arm me with Your belt of truth and shield of faith
• Awaken me to the crown-making work You’re doing

Today I claim:
💎 This struggle is refining not ruining me
⏳ This pain has an expiration date
👑 This endurance is earning eternal weight

Keep me standing until the ‘afterward’ of Hebrews 12:11 blossoms.
Amen.“
