"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" -- 1 Corinthians 15:57-58 / NKJV
As you continue to seek God's purpose for your life, you will undoubtedly experience your fair share of disappointments, detours, false starts and failures. When you do, don't become discouraged: God is not finished with you yet.
The old saying is as true today as it was when it was first spoken: "Life is a marathon, not a sprint." That's why wise travelers select a travelling companion who never tires and never falters. That partner, of course, is your Heavenly Father. So pray as if everything depended upon God, ad work as if everything depended upon you. And trust God to do the rest.

Lord, when we want to give up, help us remember how important it is to keep trying and when we are worried or upset, help us remember to talk to You.
