Perseverance
Perseverance means never giving up, even when things are hard. God gives us strength to keep going and finish what we start!
"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
Bible Story: Paul's Missionary Journeys
Acts 13-28
Paul traveled all over the world telling people about Jesus. He faced many hard things—he was beaten, shipwrecked, thrown in prison, and people were mean to him. But Paul never gave up! He kept sharing God's love no matter what happened. His perseverance helped many people learn about Jesus.
How to Practice Perseverance
- Keep practicing a skill even when it's difficult
- Don't quit a sport or activity just because it's hard
- Keep trying to solve a problem instead of giving up
- Finish your homework even when you're tired
- Keep praying for something even when you don't see results yet
