Adversity does not imply that God has abandoned you. Instead, he wants you to keep trying. He wants you to demonstrate your loyalty to him.
But if you endure all temptations and persevere, God will mend your hearts and come to your aid. God has ultimately promised you eternal life.
Remind yourself that God loves you and wants you to experience life to the fullest whenever you feel like giving up.
God’s plan is for you to flourish, not be harmed. If you’re having trouble in life, hang in there because better things are still to come.

The devil will appear to us in a variety of ways. So we shouldn’t succumb to the devil’s tricks when that day arrives.
Instead, maintain your position. Put on all of God’s protection, which includes the written word of the Bible. God has promised to bless you if you do.
We must adopt these traits if we are to serve Christ. Then, keep in mind that there is a reward at the end when you feel like giving up. The gift of eternal salvation is the prize.
