Before the Cross: 7 Ways to Guard Your HeartSample

2. Persevere In The Face Of Difficulties
Difficulties are going to happen in this life. They have to. That’s the product of a sinful world filled with sinful people. It’s not a coincidence that God lines out multiple things for you to do while following Him. Some of these are reading the Bible daily, praying consistently, sharing the Gospel with others, and spending time in solitude with the Lord.
Sometimes, you don’t feel the Lord’s presence or feel like He is listening to your prayers. Persevere! Trust that He is always completing a good work in you. Believe that the Lord will prevail in all things. As you persevere, you will continue to grow in Godliness, and your heart will be strong.
