I know I am a weak sinner. It would scare me to think it was up to me to persevere.

I agree.

Now; just WHAT does 'persevere' mean?

Some would say "do good works".

I say "continue to trust in the Lord."

“But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

You are most correct. It definitely means to continue to trust Him.

God bless!
