My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; — James 1:2

Stick with it! Few things are more important than being able to stick with something. Most of the important things you do in life come about because you didn’t give up. I don’t believe in luck because most “luck” comes when we’ve worked hard enough for the “magical moment” to happen. Edison said it best: “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” are the keys to life’s greatest achievements, the world’s greatest discoveries, and his own best ideas. “Hang in there!” and see the glory of God shine through you, not because of luck but because of God’s grace, love, and Providence!

Prayer

Unchangeable and unshakable God, help me to endure adversity and demonstrate my character’s truth with perseverance when under pressure through the friends you have placed in my life and the influence of your gift, the Holy Spirit. Give my faith strength and stamina so that my life will reflect your enduring power. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
