The road to fulfilling your purpose may be long and challenging. Pray for the endurance and perseverance to keep going, even when faced with difficulties. Ask God to strengthen your resolve, deepen your faith, and grant you the ability to press on, no matter the circumstances.
 
Find encouragement in God's promises:
Throughout the Bible, God provides numerous promises of His faithfulness and the strength He offers to His children. Meditate on these promises and let them fuel your prayers. Remember that God is with you every step of the way, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
 
Surrender your fears and doubts:
In moments of weakness, it's natural to experience fear and doubt. However, God calls us to bring our anxieties to Him. Pray for the strength to surrender your fears and doubts, trusting that God is greater than any obstacle you may face. Seek His peace and assurance, knowing that He is in control.
