>1 CORINTHIANS 10:13 The Message
>13 No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the
>course of what others have had to face. All you need to
>remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let
>you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help
>you come through it.
>All of us have been tempted to lose hope and give up. But we
>always have a choice: focus on God and stay in faith, or focus
>on the problem and give up.
>Problems -- no matter how huge they seem to us -- are no
>problem to God. Nothing is too hard, or complicated, for God to
>solve. But God wants us to trust Him.
>So what should you do when you are being tempted and feel like
>giving in and giving up?
>Refuse!
>Just keep your focus on the Lord and rejoice in His
>faithfulness. Remember that God cannot lie, and will never
>fail. God will see you through.
>HEBREWS 10:23 NKJ
>23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without
>wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
>When the devil tries to steal your faith, he tries to get you
>to quit speaking in agreement with the Word of God. Don't let
>it happen! Hold fast to speaking your faith! Keep on saying
>what the Word of God says about you and your situation. Don't
>be moved by the circumstances.
>GALATIANS 6:9 NIV
>9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time
>we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
>Don't grow weary. Keep your eyes on the Lord. His Word will
>work and produce a harvest of blessing in your life. Don't
>doubt it!
>SAY THIS: I will keep trusting in God and never give up!
