And let us run with&amp;amp;nbsp;perseverance&amp;amp;nbsp;the race&amp;amp;nbsp;marked out for&amp;amp;nbsp;us.’&amp;amp;nbsp;Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)&amp;amp;nbsp;   See our note on Bible usage: https://www.stewardship.org.uk/bible-usage&amp;amp;nbsp;   How you can pray for Emma:&amp;amp;nbsp;   that she would stay focused on Jesus and keep her gaze fixed on God amid the distractions of everyday life&amp;amp;nbsp;   that she would be able to run the race God has set before her, without being swayed or pulled off course by competing demands&amp;amp;nbsp;   for help in remaining undistracted and spiritually attentive during the 40acts journey and the Lent season&amp;amp;nbsp;   Related links:&amp;amp;nbsp;   www.kobeyhouse.com&amp;amp;nbsp;   https://girlgotfaith.com/&amp;amp;nbsp;   Follow&amp;amp;nbsp;Emma&amp;amp;nbsp;on Instagram:&amp;amp;nbsp;https://www.instagram.com/emmaloufrancis/&amp;amp;nbsp;   Final thoughts:&amp;amp;nbsp;   Thank you for joining us for the third episode of this Lent podcast.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;     New episodes&amp;amp;nbsp;are&amp;amp;nbsp;dropping&amp;amp;nbsp;weekly throughout 40acts - packed with stories,&amp;amp;nbsp;encouragement&amp;amp;nbsp;and practical ways to live generously.&amp;amp;nbsp;   If the conversation&amp;amp;nbsp;inspired&amp;amp;nbsp;you:&amp;amp;nbsp;   Subscribe by signing up to 40acts, our generosity challenge for Lent.&amp;amp;nbsp;You’ll&amp;amp;nbsp;receive a daily email for the 40 days of Lent, each one with a reflection,&amp;amp;nbsp;challenge&amp;amp;nbsp;and prayer prompt.
