Persistence
‘Staying with it – that’s what God requires. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry.’ Matthew 24:13 MSG
Abraham Lincoln said, ‘Success is going from failure to failure, without losing your enthusiasm.’ Elbert Hubbard wrote, ‘There is no defeat, except in no longer trying; no really insurmountable barrier, save our own inherent weakness of purpose.’ Charles Lindbergh said, ‘Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he encountered and the courage he maintained in his struggle against it.’ The University of Chicago conducted a five-year survey of the 20 top performers in various fields, including musicians, athletes, sculptors, mathematicians, physicians, actors, artists, scholars and chief executives. They also interviewed the families and teachers of these celebrated high achievers to find out how they did it. What they discovered was that drive and determination, not talent, led to their success! Imagine that! Just plain old stick-to-it-iveness! Anybody who ever did anything worthwhile had it. The Master Teacher Himself gave us the formula in these words, ‘Staying with it – that’s what God requires. Stay with it to the end. You won’t be sorry’ (Matthew 24:13 MSG).
Prayer Point:
Lord, You’ve promised that if we don’t become weary in doing things well, we will eventually reap a reward. Thank you that You are interested in every detail of my life – even the most menial task. Please help me to continue going when it gets tough and I’m tempted to give up. Thank you, Lord.

Losing a job or dealing with work-related stress is something that many of us deal with at some point in life. But God doesn’t want you to have anxiety at work. He cares about your day-to-day, and He wants you to flourish in the work you do!
