The journey that you’re on doesn’t have to end in defeat. Opposition is not a final defeat. Depression is not a final defeat. Discouragement is not a final defeat.

Your story doesn’t have to end with the feelings you have today.

Your story doesn’t have to end with defeat.

You can overcome because Jesus overcame for you.

The choice is yours.

Stand up and fight—for your peace, your joy, your calling, your family, your marriage, your destiny, your spouse, your financial stability, your sanity. Stand up and fight or stay stuck. It’s your choice.

Just remember this hope today:

“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

1 Peter 1:7

Prepare your mind today, set your hope FULLY on God’s grace. There’s a battle going on around you and your preparedness is key to winning. We do this by fixing our eyes on the author and the perfecter of our faith.

There’s hope for what you are facing today. Won’t you stand up and fight with me today? And listen, if you’re not strong up to stand up, then fall to your knees and worship the King who is ultimately fighting for you. Sweet friend, please know that there’s hope for another day.
