Keep Going, Even When It Hurts
You ever feel like life’s just... too much? Like you’re running uphill and your legs are giving out? Yeah—me too. But faith isn’t just for the easy days. It’s for the moments when we feel like we can’t take another step, and we whisper, “God, help me.”
Hebrews 12:1–2 says we should run this spiritual race with endurance, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. Not on the chaos. Not on the pain. On Him.
When Things Fall Apart
James 1:2–4 tells us to count our trials as joy. Sounds wild, right? Joy, when you're hurting? But here’s what I’ve learned: those tough times—they shape us. They strip away the distractions and bring us face-to-face with grace.
Think about Joseph—betrayed by family. Or Job—lost everything. Paul—locked up, yet writing words that would change lives forever. Their strength didn’t come from within; it came from surrendering to God.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus
When grief hits or life goes quiet, when you wonder if God’s even listening—don’t pull away. Look up. Jesus endured more than we ever will. And He did it so we could know we’re not alone in this.
Faith doesn’t always feel like victory. Sometimes it feels like showing up, breathless, wondering if you’re doing it right. That’s okay. Keep showing up anyway.
Your Story Isn’t Over
Maybe you're reading this and you're tired. Worn down. Wondering what purpose your pain could possibly serve.
But let me tell you—this chapter matters. God isn’t done writing your story. And this part, the messy middle, could be the most powerful piece of your testimony.
You don’t have to be strong. You just have to hold on. Walk forward. Cry if you need to. Stumble. But keep moving. Faith isn’t about getting it perfect—it’s about trusting that Jesus already did.
