There are times when we can feel overwhelmed, when the challenges we face seem more than we can handle. In those times, it's easy to give up. It's also easy to fall into patterns that go against God's plans for us. It can be easy to judge others, or to fall victim to envy. But Paul offers us good advice in Galations 6:
And let's never forget that in those challenging times, God is always with us. "So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all..."
