Take courage, fainting
Christians: you are encompassed with a great cloud of witnesses! The race that
you are running has been run by millions before; you think that no one ever had
such trials as yourself -- but every step that you are journeying has been
safely walked by others; the valley of the shadow of death has been securely
passed by a multitude of trembling, doubting ones like yourself. They had their
fears and anxieties, like you -- but they were not cast away. The world, the
flesh and the devil can never overwhelm the weakest person who will set their
face towards God. These millions journeyed on in bitterness and tears like your
own, and yet not one perished -- they all reached their eternal home.
