Prayer is not quitting—it is continuing.

🪷 The Power Perseverance in Faith

Perseverance is not passive—it is active trust.

James reminds us that trials are not wasted—they produce steadfastness and reward. Prayer strengthens perseverance by keeping us connected to God’s promises when circumstances tempt us to give up.

To persevere means to endure, to remain, and to press forward. It is the posture of resilience, the practice of faithfulness, and the pathway to victory.

Prayer doesn’t begin with quitting.
It begins with perseverance.

🙏 Today’s Prayer

Father, strengthen me to endure.
Teach me to remain faithful in trials.
Let my perseverance today become a testimony for generations.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
