How to Keep Going When You Feel Like Giving Up
Some days, just turning up feels like a win.
If you’ve ever found yourself spiritually exhausted—wondering if the prayers are working, if your obedience matters, or if anyone even notices—you’re not alone.
Chapter 7 of Hold Fast gets real about one of the hardest, holiest disciplines: staying the course.
Because while the world loves a big start, God honours a faithful finish.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
—Galatians 6:9
That’s the promise. But the waiting is where most people fall off the trail.
This chapter explores:
- What it really means to follow Jesus for the long haul
- Why Elisha refused to stop short—even when invited to
- The subtle danger of “slow fade” spirituality
- How to build resilience through spiritual rhythms, not hype
You’ll also hear a personal story from a moment I wanted to walk away—but didn’t. And how that moment didn’t bring resolution… but it did strengthen my roots.
Faithfulness is rarely flashy. It’s quiet. Hidden. Sometimes unseen by others. But God sees.
He sees your persistence.
He sees your secret obedience.
He sees your quiet yes when you feel unseen and unqualified.
To help you build endurance, download this week’s tool: the “Stay the Course Inventory.” It helps you check in on your rhythms, your rest, and your reasons for staying faithful—even when the fire’s faded.
Let this be your reminder:
You don’t need perfect faith.
You just need to keep showing up.
Because the harvest is coming.
And you’re closer than you think.
