Staying steady and solid is a huge challenge these days. Sometimes the pressures of life get too intense, and you might be tempted to give up or run away.
Whatever your situation might be, remember this: if it has value, it’s worth the struggle. Don’t give up! Seek the Lord and he will provide you with his Spirit to remain perseverant.
The presence of God is the best and safest place. In the Lord, you will find your strength and salvation.

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
James 1:12
Prayer to stay solid
O blessed Lord,
Even when everything seems to fall apart,
Even when powerful temptations arise,
Even when I feel like I can’t move forward,
I will seek refuge in you.
Lift me up, O Lord!
Give me your peace and calm.
Fill me with courage.
Keep me solid and steady against the howling wind.
The enemy sets a trap. He seeks my destruction.
But I will not falter. I will not fear.
I will wait upon the Lord.
With a Word he sends the demon far, far away from me.
I confess my sin. I humble myself before Almighty God.
I can do nothing without you.
On my knees, I will fight the good fight.
And in my life, all victory is the Lord’s.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
