PERSEVERE… EVEN WHEN IT HURTS
Some days, the assignment feels heavier than the strength you think you have. The path gets crowded with “why is this happening?” and “Lord, I’m tired.” And if we’re honest… sometimes we want to tap out.
But hear me: keep going anyway.
Pressure isn’t always punishment — sometimes it’s proof that your next level is closer than you think. Growth doesn’t always feel good, but it always produces good. And every time you push through something that tried to stop you, you become a version of yourself you’ve never met before.
I’ve learned that perseverance isn’t loud. It’s not glamorous. It’s that quiet decision you make at 6 AM… or midnight… or in the middle of tears — “I’m not quitting. I’m still called. I’m still chosen. I’m still moving.”
If it’s hard right now, breathe.
If the weight feels like too much, pause — but don’t stop.
If your emotions are loud, anchor yourself in what God already promised.
You are not behind.
You are not forgotten.
You are becoming.
Keep taking the next right step.
The breakthrough always shows up where consistency meets faith.
You’ve got this. And God’s got you. ✨🔥
