When You Feel Like Giving Up

Are you thinking about giving up on something important? Don’t quit until you hear Week 3 of True Virtue. We’re learning about perseverance―what it is and how to have it. This message could be exactly what you need to keep going.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE
In a cynical world of "cancel culture" and "vitrue signalling," it’s easy to give the impression of good character without actually living it out. But now more than ever, actions speak louder than words. Not just any action, but the kind centered on what matters most. Let’s learn how we can bring True Virtue back into our everyday lives.

What's one area of your life where you’re trying to persevere, even though it isn’t always easy?

I’m giving my life to Jesus right now… 8/3/23

Father help me persevere through this darkness of addiction, depression, my broken marriage, and this suicidal thoughts. Amen

You might be in a situation right now that makes you think you won’t survive - but 6 months ago you were in a situation you didn’t think you could survive, and 2 years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you could survive. The point is, God will always surprise you and you will always make it through. 🔥

Although I’m atheist, there’s just something that keeps bringing me back to this channel to listen to this guy speak. I have received so much quality advice which has helped me in my life and for that I’m extremely grateful. This goes beyond religion and idealistic beliefs and I would recommend this channel to everyone.

Getting divorce after 20 years with someone I thought we would grow old together. I still love her.
I do feel like giving up sometimes. Father give me strength and take my depression away. Amen

I've been trying to persevere through (to be honest) crippling doubt, anxiety, and ensuing depression, for a year now. I'm only 20, and it all feels like the end, like last night when I didn't know if I would wake up a Christian and my mom held me while I cried at midnight. I haven't been feeling Him, haven't been hearing from Him, and feel abandoned on a dark road. I have no idea where the sunlight is on this path, I have no idea where the road ends, but I just know it must end at the feet of Jesus. I am not a quitter, I never have been, and I won't quit now. Thank you, Pastor Groeschel, for reminding me to not throw in the towel or ring the bell. Jesus is not done with me yet.

I have struggled with suicidal thoughts recently and it seems like my emotions are making my life a big rollercoaster. And it's really been so hard to hold on lately. This sermon was excellent in explaining the reasons why I should stay alive. A great message from an excellent speaker! Thank you, Pastor!

"Heavenly Father I pray You keep the person reading this alive, safe, healthy & financially blessed them Lord .Amen🙏🏽
God bless y'all abundantly

Me and my friend JD were having this exact discussion yesterday. Both of us are beyond the end of our ropes. I just shared this with him. I don't believe it was a coincidence that the Lord put this in front of me.

It's disappointing that people always talk about "raising a child with special needs" but NO ONE ever talks about "being a child with special needs with parents who literally don't care about you." My life doesn't matter to anyone. Only my abusive parents, who never did anything to help me, get credit for any success of mine.

I have been praying for my Husband’s Salvation for 38 years. Thank you for this. Wiping the sweat off, as I carry the towel to hand it off to God when His Promise is fulfilled!

[amberrose]

My faith has been struggling so much lately. Through severe financial struggles, anxiety depression and panic attacks, and feeling so alone, this message helped me to feel like I can breathe again. I just pray that I make it through and don’t lose my battle to depression

[kaylaraye]

[brianhall]

This is the message that I desperately needed to hear. Thank you for this word of the Lord just for me.
