We need each other in order to endure to the end of this life.
57. Pray for One Another
Constantly pray for one another’s perseverance and steadfastness in the faith.

2 Cor 8:11; Col 1:22-23; **Heb 12:1-4**
59. Preserve One Another’s Hope
Keep each other’s hope high. When bad times threaten hope, be right there to reassure others of God’s sovereignty, His steadfast love, His past deliverances and His wonderful plans for our future.
