“I give up! I quit! I’m outta here! I’ve had all I can take! I can’t go on! Don’t ask me again! This is the last straw! I’m just going to run away.” I know you have never said those things, but all of us have heard them.
You no doubt have prayed, “Lord please help me as I don’t know what to do.” Or you have said, “Give me strength to overcome or to withstand the temptation.” You have asked for strength, courage, wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and like me, you can remember when He sent it and how thankful and blessed you were when you realized God really did care and He did keep His promises to be with you until the end.
“So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest” Galatians 6:9
It helps to remember when I fail, that I’m learning things from God. I see that disappointments can be new opportunities to better understand God and myself; to do a little more self-searching. The thing I’m sure of is God’s faithfulness and love! Written by William E. McDonough
