Day 4: Laying Aside Every Weight and Sin
Scripture: Hebrews 12:1
“…let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely…”
Reflection:
In order to run the race set before us, we must first release the burdens and sins that hold us back. These weights can come in many forms—unresolved guilt, unhealthy habits, or even worries that distract us from our divine purpose. Today’s focus is on repentance and the freedom found in letting go of what hinders our progress.
Application:
- Reflect on any “weights” in your life that are preventing you from moving forward in faith.
- Spend time in prayer and confession, inviting God to help you release these burdens.
Prayer:
“Gracious God, I come before You with any burdens or sins that weigh me down. Please help me to lay them aside so that I may run with endurance the race You have set before me. Grant me forgiveness and the strength to move forward freely. Amen.”
