Day 141 of the journey
Staying Under the Weight
Today's stop rests on James 1:12. It takes about a minute.
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial.”
James 1:12
The reflection
Perseverance is rarely heroic from the inside. It mostly looks like getting up again on a day you did not want to.
One step forward
Do the next ordinary thing without asking yourself how long this will last.
A short prayer
Lord, you said it and I want to believe it. Where I can't yet, hold me anyway. Let these words go with me into the rest of today. Amen.
