✨ How Do You Persevere When You Just Don't Want To?✨

📍 We Can Take The Right Small Steps If We See The Right Big Picture.

📍 Three Major Tensions We All Face:

1. Hard Assignments - this is too hard

2. Conflicted Emotions - I just don't feel like it

3.Broken People - I don't wanna deal with people

Jonah 1:2-3 NLT

📍 God Won't Let Us Sit Comfortably In Disobedience.

📍 We Can Take The Right Small Steps, If We See The Right Big Picture.

❓ What Is God Asking You To Do That Is Hard For You?

📍 Truths That Help You Persevere: (when you don't want to)

1. Choose The PAIN OF PURPOSE.

🔸 The CONSEQUENCE OF DISOBEDIENCE Is Greater Than The COST OF OBEDIENCE.

Hebrews 5:8 NLT

2. Process EMOTIONS WITH GOD.

3. Bring Light To DARK PLACES.

📍 We Can Take The Right Small Steps, If We See The Right Big Picture.

📜 HEBREWS 12:2 (The VOICE) 📜

"Now stay focused on Jesus, who designed and perfected our faith. He endured the cross and ignored the shame of that death because He focused on the joy that was set before Him; and now He is seated beside God on the throne, a place of honor."
