Trials and hardships will come, but the best time to prepare is before they arrive. In 1 Peter 1:13, we are called to “gird up the loins of your mind,” a picture of getting ready for battle by removing anything that could hinder us. Preparation means filling our minds with God’s truth, staying focused, and choosing resilience before difficulties strike. When we pre-decide to stand firm, God equips us to endure, overcome, and reflect His strength, even in the hardest moments.
