While We Wait - Living in Expectancy for Christ's Return (For Women)Sample

Day 16 - Persevere While We Wait

Press, sis. You’ve got this! Whenever your faith feels weak or your strength starts to fade, tell yourself, “Press!” Pressing is persevering. It’s holding on when you feel like giving up. When you don’t see change, when progress seems slow, when your dreams aren’t coming to pass, or when God’s timing feels delayed—don’t stop. Keep going. Keep believing. Don’t let your fire grow dim. Fight for the extra oil, that extra vigor, because the trumpet is going to sound. As I like to say, “Heaven will be worth it all.” So, sis, persevere.

Reflection Questions:

1. When have you felt like giving up, and how did you respond to that moment?

2. What areas of your life require you to press on and persevere in your faith despite challenges or delays?

3. How can you maintain your spiritual fire and fight for the “extra oil” in your daily walk with God?

Closing Prayer:

“Lord, give me the strength to press on even when I feel weak or discouraged. Help me to hold fast to my faith, fight for the extra oil, and keep my spiritual fire burning bright as I wait for Your return. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
