When You Feel You Can't Finish the Race

Credit :

Do you ever worry your faith might fail before you finish the race (2 Timothy 4:7)?

On days when avoiding irreparable spiritual shipwreck seems to require every bit of strength your weak soul possesses, do you fear you won't be able to keep this up long-term?

I think all Christians wonder at one time or another if they will persevere until the end. There are some seasons in which we feel strong in the Lord and confident that we will one day hear the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:23). In others, we feel like we are being crushed by troubles of this world, assailed by temptations, and pummeled by demonic foes. It's in these latter times of spiritual heaviness that doubt festers and hope dwindles. And it's in these times we desperately need to believe these faith-building words: "He will sustain you to the end" (1 Corinthians 1:8).
