Prayer – In Training

O Father, transform me into the spiritual warrior You want me to be. May no obstacle or difficulty cause my love for You to diminish or my zeal for You to waver. Enable me to defeat life’s giants and to win life’s battles. Help me to persevere in the “growing up” process so that my character reflects the character of Your Son. Train me, use me, and help me to “shape up,” so that I can fight the good fight and run the race. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
