You Can Do It

I want to encourage you as you push forward with this 21-day fast. The Bible speaks of endurance as a

virtue, reminding us that trials are but fleeting moments in the grand design of God. In James 1:12, we

are encouraged, “blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that

person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.”

Perseverance is not merely the absence of challenges, but the unwavering commitment to press on

despite them. The journey of faith is a marathon, not a sprint. Hebrews 12:1 urges us” to run with

perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfector of faith.”

As we face the inevitable trials, let us cling to the promises of God and draw strength from his enduring

love. In Romans 5:3-4, we are reminded that perseverance produces character and hope. Through

steadfast faith, we find the courage to endure, trusting that God's plan is perfect, and His grace is

sufficient for every step of the way.
