Day Twenty Two
Perseverance for Your Heart
2 Thessalonians 3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
Nothing is impossible. This is a core belief for you. When you reach a sticking point, you push through. You’ve been bootstrapping as far back as you can remember. Suddenly, you’ve reached a point where your heart simply won’t follow your feet. You feel stuck; unable to proceed.
Hindered one, come embrace perseverance for your heart.
Today I Pray for You:
· To stop pushing through and start being directed by the Source of true perseverance.
· To discover the mine of perseverance that exists in the depth of God’s love.
Today You Pray:
Never Ending One, I’m weary from trying. Though my effort tends to meet with “success”, I wonder if I chase the wrong goal. What if true perseverance is found in a gentle push from You rather than a pull from my own strength?
For too long I’ve measured progress as forward. Shift me down into Your bottomless well of love. The further I dive into Your arms, the more You fuel perseverance in my heart. Entwined, You carry me forward.
Shannon - this is exactly how I feel about a certain aspect of my life. Doing things in my own strength brings temporary results, and the rest is a continuous circle. Great encouragement to let God lead me.
