"Almighty God, let Thy divine power so strengthen our weakness, that neither the craft of the devil, nor the allurements of the world, nor the evil desires of our own hearts, may prevail against us, but that we may in all things be more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Keep us steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord; and enable us to be faithful unto death, that we may receive the crown of life." - "Prayers for Social and Family Worship", The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland

Weakness

"Onward, ye elect of God! Victory is before you; your very safety lies in that direction. To retreat is to perish. . . . By the help of God, we have cut our way to positions of usefulness; and to descend is death. To us, forward means upward; and therefore forward and upward let us go. . . . We put our hand to the plough then; thank God, we have not looked back yet, and we must never do so. The only course open to us is to plough right on to the end of the furrow, and never think of leaving the field till the Master shall call us home." - C. H. Spurgeon
