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 runwith perseverance the race marked out for us, ² fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneerand 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.

My prayer is that i may fix my eyes on Jesus! 

I was convicted to truly throw off everything that hinders my relationship with the Lord, and was reminded that sin "easily entangled." 

May the Holy Spirit guide me and help me run this race!!
