The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

“I have one power, I never give up.” This is all about resilience, perseverance, and the strength God gives us to keep pushing forward.

This quote, is attributed to the relentless spirit of perseverance, speaks to the core of what it means to live with purpose. It’s not about being the strongest, the smartest, or the most talented—it’s about refusing to quit. In life, we face obstacles: setbacks at work, struggles in relationships, personal doubts, or even spiritual battles. But this quote reminds us that our greatest power is the choice to keep going.

1. Anchor Yourself in Prayer: When you feel like quitting, hit pause and pray. Psalm 55:22 (NIV) says, “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Prayer connects you to God’s strength.

2. Surround Yourself with Encouragers: Find people who remind you of God’s promises. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV) urges us to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.” Your community can lift you up when you’re down.

3. Focus on the Next Step, Not the Whole Journey: Sometimes, the big picture feels overwhelming. Just take one step forward. Jesus said in Matthew 6:34 (NIV), “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Trust God for today’s strength.
