Do you feel Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Are you ready to quit?
Faith does not look at the FACTS and say “Well, I might as well give up.” Faith looks at circumstances that have “impossible” written all over them and then listens to what heaven is saying. In heaven, you will never hear God say, “You should quit. This is impossible.”
Scripture is clear that faith has nothing to do with what we feel or see. We walk by faith, not by sight. 2 Cor 5:7
If you listen, you will hear God telling you that He is on your side, he is FIGHTING FOR YOU, that with Him you are more than a conqueror!
Determine today, as a person of FAITH, to move your eyes off your situation and open your ears to God’s voice.
When you are in crisis, God is not. When you are in depression, God is not. When you are lost, God is not. When you want to quit, God will not. God has not vanished. Just because you may not understand the path you are traveling doesn’t mean God is not leading you! Choose to trust Him.

Choose to believe:
He will comfort you in all your troubles. Ps 23:4
God will meet all your needs (Phil 4:19)
He will turn your darkness into light and make straight your crooked path (Is 30:5)
Joy comes in the morning (Ps 30:5)
God will not forsake you (Ps 9:10)

When Marcus Luttrell (Lone Survivor) was training to be Navy seal he noticed that men around him were quitting, giving up and not fulfilling their dream to be a Seal! These men were STRONG, some stronger than Marcus. Though they had physical strength, they didn’t have the mental strength. When you make up your mind that you are not going to quit, the battle is WON! There comes a time in every marriage, family or situation when it’s easier to quit than endure. Decide now that you WILL NOT QUIT!
.
I am never going to quit loving.
I am never going to quit serving.
I am never going to quit forgiving.
I am never going to quit praying.
I am never going to quit believing.
I am never going to quit being kind.
