“Today, persevere. Do not give up, no matter what happens. Continue to seek God and His will for you. You do so by realizing that the difficulties you encounter do not automatically mean you’re supposed to change direction. The hardships you endure may delay you in reaching your goals, but they aren’t necessarily a dead end for you. During your moments of defeat, God is teaching you something that will help you succeed later on. Paul didn’t interpret the tragic events of his life as a reason to stop pressing forward. He knew what God was calling him to do and was committed to accomplishing it. You must be as well. Also, do not confuse experiencing setbacks with being a failure. Your mistakes, losses, challenges, and defeats are only temporary; they do not define who you are. Instead, look to the Lord to determine the truth about your identity: a forgiven child of God who has an eternal purpose and hope. Through the power and wisdom of His Holy Spirit indwelling you, your heavenly Father will give you the ability to stay on course. So do not give up. Draw near to the Lord and allow His power and love to sustain you.”

“First, remember that God is always in absolute control, no matter how challenging things seem. This is the key to being able to endure emotionally and mentally during difficulties. Regardless of what pain you’re experiencing, who has turned against you, or how you’ve failed—the Father is still in control and can lead you to overcome. Second, count on the fact that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God” (Romans 8:28). If He’s permitted some issue or challenge to touch your life, it is for a beneficial purpose. Of course, there may be some hardships you face that you will never comprehend this side of heaven. However, you can be completely certain that He still loves you and has your best in mind—and that is always cause for praise. So today, thank Him that you’re never helpless or alone. Your God can always handle whatever problems you face and will give you the strength, wisdom, and hope you need to endure.”

He tells us that the trials we experience are evidence that the Lord has rejected us. He seeks to make us feel defeated because if he can make us give up, he will have neutralized a potential vessel of Christ’s glory.”

“At times, when someone wrongs you or a loved one, you may feel tempted to become an arbiter of justice and take matters into your own hands. However, remember that your charge is always to be a representative of Christ. As believers, our duty isn’t to get revenge or prove a point. Our responsibility is to represent Jesus so that others will be saved. We can do so because God is already a good and faithful Judge, and we don’t have to do His job.”
