Perseverance

Have there been moments when you think you have tried everything that you can possible think of doing?  Then you find yourself saying "now what"?  You've prayed for a loved one for years, but nothing changes.  What are we to do?

The Lord tells us that after we've done everything we know to do, and have said everything we know to say, to stand.  In other words, persevere.  Keep believing, praying, and standing in faith.

The same holds true for every area of our lives.  We must hold steady in the face of adversity, doubt, or apparent failure.  Why?  Because God is faithful if we will only stand fast and persevere against all odds.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Ephesians 6:13

You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.  Margaret Thatcher

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.  Psalm 37:24
