A well-lived life requires preparation, determination, and lots of perseverance. For Christians, the ultimate example is our Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus completed what He started, remaining faithful to God despite suffering and shame on the cross. In times of hardship, we need to stay faithful and draw strength from God. Even when it seems like our prayers are met with silence, we must patiently persevere. No matter how tough our situation may be, we should trust that God can handle it and continue persevering until He acts. — Philippians 3:13-14
