💪 Strength in PERSEVERANCE: trusting God through every challenge
3-minute scripture boost, taking small steps, and making a snack
Sometimes, I’m tempted to quit. Whether it’s a difficult project, a prayer that seems unanswered, or just the daily grind of showing up again and again, I sometimes hear that little voice whisper: What’s the point?
Perseverance is hard. It’s easier to walk away when things get tough, to convince ourselves that maybe we’re just not meant for this particular struggle. But God calls us to keep going. Not because we have to prove ourselves, but because He is at work—even when we don’t see it.
This week, let’s reflect on the gift of perseverance, the grace that keeps us moving forward when everything in us wants to give up. Below I’m sharing a 3-minute Scripture Boost, encouragement to start small, and an easy-to-make snack to keep us fueled on the journey. We’ll lean into God’s strength instead of our own. What if the breakthrough is just on the other side of the struggle? Let’s keep going, together.
