5 Days Engaging the Power of Hope

DAY 2 OF 5

Endurance through Hope

Endurance is directly linked to our hope. Though trials come, when we know the hope we have—the promise and possibility of what we are working toward; we can hold on and stay the course. Patience is required of all of us. Though we live in a world where we can find instant answers and services at our fingertips, the challenges of life do not work this way. We cannot wish away our grief or skip a recovery process. We need to learn the gift of endurance, for it will teach and refine us if we let it.

When we have hope, we can self-regulate and make sacrifices in the present for the benefit of our goals. Endurance works in a similar way. When trials test our resolve, we can find courage and resilience in the hope we hold onto. Perseverance is a strength in life, and we can all grow in it. Finding encouragement from Scriptures, from community support, and from God Himself, we can keep pressing on while not losing hope.

Set a goal for the day and keep bringing it to mind when you feel tempted to give up.
