Never Give Up...

"Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated."
Proverbs 24:16

Do you sincerely want to live a life that is pleasing to God? If so, we must remember that life is not a sprint; it's a marathon that calls for preparation,determination,and lots of perseverance.
Are you one of those people that doesn't give up easily, or are you quick to bail out when the going gets tough?
Jesus finished what He began, and so should we. Despite His suffering and shame of the cross, Jesus was steadfast in His faithfulness to God. We, too, must remain faithful, especially when times are tough.
Do you want to build a closer relationship with God? Then don't give up. And if you are facing a difficult situation, remember this: whatever your problem, God can handle it. Our job is to keep persevering until He does...

Jesus taught that perseverance is the essential element in prayer.
