There comes a time where life will see what we’re really made of. We will either remain in faith or fold under the pressure.

During these trying times, it’s the enemy’s job to make us feel down, depressed, and make us feel like there is no hope. The enemy will send thoughts in our mind that will magnify our current situation and will be contrary to the Word of God. The only way to combat these thoughts is by speaking the Word of God, however, we can’t speak what we don’t know. That’s why it’s so important to pray, feed our faith by hearing the Word of God, read our Bible, etc. These things don’t make us righteous but, it does prepare us for life’s tribulations.

If an athlete never trains, never eats properly, and never studies their sport, their performance will be poor for game day. It’s the same way with us. We have to do the necessary things to remain in faith and combat the attacks of the enemy.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
