Life is spiritual. The spirit realm controls the physical realm. To be able to control things from the spiritual realm, we cannot ignore prayer. When you are faced with a situation, pray about it. Also, make prayer your lifestyle. Prayer transforms us. Prayer preserves our faith. Prayer promotes peace. Prayer changes things. James 2:26, Luke 18:1, Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Luke 22:31-32, Philippians 4:6, Luke 9:29, 1 Timothy 2:1-3

To be diligent means to be hardworking. One uncompromising principle of success is hard work. There’s no substitute for diligence. We must understand that success is dependent on the grace of God, in conjunction with hard work. Without diligence, we make the grace of God of no effect - we frustrate the grace. Success goes beyond desire. You must find out what it takes to get there and put in the work. 1 Corinthians 15:10, Galatians 2:20-21,Proverbs 22:29, Proverbs 12:24

One antidote to weariness is persistence. Persistence means obstinately refusing to give up. You have to be stubborn in the face of adversity. Learn to continue to press on. Decide that no matter what, you are not going to give up. In the face of adversity, one of you (you or the adversity) must give up, and that should not be you. Press on! Luke 11:5-8, Luke 18:1-8, 1 Kings 18:42-45

There are times when we become weary or tired in life. Sometimes, that leads us into giving up on our goals and dreams. But the Lord is teaching us today to never give up but keep pressing on. There’s no case that is hopeless with God. He can do anything. Galatians 6:9, Isaiah 40:28-31, Matthew 11:28, John 5:1-9, Luke 5:1-6

Trials are part of the life of every believer. What are some characteristics of our moments of trial? They are pain, shame, rejection, losses and frustration. But why would God allow these things to happen to the believer? It is so that He can humble us, prove us and know what is really in our hearts (our motives and intentions). It is also so that God can bring us into our prepared blessing and greatness. Deuteronomy 8:1-2, Psalm 66:10-12, Job 42:5, Job 3:1, Job 1:13-19

Everything we believe will be tried. In fact, the authenticity of our faith is proven by the trying times we go through as believers. Some trials are initiated by God whereas others may not be initiated by God, but He grants permission for them to happen. Romans 8:28, Romans 8:32, Luke 22:31-32, James 1:2, 1 Peter 4:12, Job 1:6-12

We must be very intentional when it comes to our relationship with God. We're encouraged to thank God in every situation. Why? God has a plan. He sees what we cannot see. He has said that all things are working together for our good. Just give thanks and wait on the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Psalm 34:1, Romans 8:28

God has a plan for your life. You may be confused about how things are going but God is never confused. He expects you to always come to Him with your cares and anxieties. Lay them before the Lord. He's ready to give you rest. Jeremiah 29:11, Philippians 4:6, 1 Peter 5:7, Matthew 11:28.

As believers, we sometimes do not move at the pace that God has ordained for us. Delay can be caused by limitations, stagnation or retrogression. But when the hand of God comes upon you, all of these are broken. Then divine speed becomes your portion and experience. 1 Kings 18:46
