CONTEND: The meeting of effort by effort, striving against opposition; sometimes physically, as in battle.
1. Pray specifically.
(Col. 1:9-11 NIV)
We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience
2. Do what you can to see it happen.
James 2:14-17
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
“favor of God” : divine kindness, or an act of true compassion on the part of God Himself
3. without giving up.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
The promise is that we are
James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
