A prayer.

" May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. "

~2 Thessalonians 3:5

Good times don't need to be "endured", hard times do. So when JESUS says "those who endure to the end"......expect trials, but know HE'S with you!

I LOVE THIS

Lightbulb Moment.
"I failed my way to success."
~Thomas Edison

Now there's a perspective. From the outside looking in, we assume that those who are "successful" somehow attained that success with little to no hardship. Like it was just magical and easy for them. Most great, successful people have failed over and over again and what made them successful was their diligence. Their perseverance. Falling. Getting back up. Falling. Getting back up. Pushing on. All that to say, whatever "success" is to you, it is absolutely, totally and complete possible to attain... as long as you can fail, learn, and get back up again. To failing, my friend!

Faced with resistance, I will be patient.
Faced with challenges, I will persevere.

From the pain knowledge is gained

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

"Lift your head up high and put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes in life that's the best choice we have until we get to a better place."
