The Word of God encourages us to pray and not faint. I am not talking about passing out onto the floor, but not giving up. Suffering and Endurance are the keys to HOLDING ON and HOLDING OUT. No matter what, you must have staying power that only the Lord can give you. The Word of God is our power when we are weak. Prayer helps us to hold on to God's Unchanging Hand. Prayer helps us to overcome our sins, to confess our sins, and to forsake our sins. Without prayer, we would faint (give up). The Lord gives us the strength to endure; He assures us that we are safe in Christ. Jesus taught His followers the importance of holding out to the end. In the bible(KJV), St. Matthew 10:21-22. Jesus informs His disciples of things to come. By saying, "And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Many started with good intentions but fell by the wayside. We all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, but we shouldn't continue in active sin.
