Never Give Up

There have been countless times where I have felt like throwing in the towel. Whether at work or in personal circumstances, things can happen that can take their toll and can get the best of us. Being expected to perform well and to do things in a quick, timely manner can put so much pressure on us. We can start to feel the anxiety build up and begin to think nothing will ever be good enough to please anyone. Satan works hard at wearing us down. Why should we keep trying? Is it all worth it? YES!!! Never give up trying, and never throw in the towel.
It’s very discouraging to keep trying and feel like nothing is being accomplished. God understands what we are going through. He knows our struggles better than we do. We are surrounded by people all the time who have an agenda to build themselves up at the cost of tearing someone else down. Before we let our struggles get the best of us, or let other people dictate our feelings, we have to turn to God and ask for His help. When our minds are on pleasing God, our energy comes from Him. We begin to see things differently and the pressure begins to lift away.
Turning to God is the only way I get through each day. He provides a way for me to face the opposition and come out on the other side successfully. I know that I stumble and fall constantly, but realizing it and giving it over to God is so important. He’s above any understanding I have of things. He can take a situation that seems impossible to me, and turn it around for His good. His plan is to grow and prosper us for His glory. There’s no room for us to feel defeated when we put our hope and trust in God.
Matthew 19:26 ESV
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Job 23:10 ESV
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come out as gold.
But He knows the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come out as gold.
Matthew 11:28-30 ESV
Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
