THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?

TITLE: QUITTERS NEVER WIN

The quote for today’s devotional is:
 "It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer." 

– Albert Einstein

Devotional:
We all face moments when quitting seems like the easiest or better option. The challenges feel overwhelming, and the journey to success feels far too long. But resilience—the ability to keep going despite setbacks—is what separates those who succeed from those who don’t. Quitting too soon means missing out on the breakthroughs that only perseverance can bring. Every failure or tough moment holds a lesson, and every step forward is a step closer to success.

A great example is Thomas Edison, who failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. When asked about his repeated failures, he famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." His persistence led to one of the most important inventions in history, reminding us that every stumble along the way is a learning opportunity.

Success isn’t about never falling; it’s about refusing to give up. Staying committed to our goals, even when things get tough, build our strength, character, and ability to overcome future obstacles. The journey is what shapes us, and enduring through hard times is what ultimately leads us to victory.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Is there a challenge I  feel like giving up on?
2. How can I  remind myself of the reasons I started my journey in the first place?
3. What small steps can I take today to keep moving forward?
4. How have past challenges helped me grow and prepare for future successes?

Let us pray:
Lord, give me the strength to persevere when the road is tough. Help me to stay focused and committed, knowing that each step brings me closer to my purpose. May I find courage in the face of obstacles and learn from every experience along the way. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• God knows when I will get there.
• I am resilient and committed to my goals.
• Every challenge I face builds my strength and brings me closer to success.
• I refuse to quit and am confident in my ability to overcome.

Have a beautiful day. Take good care of yourself. I’ll see you tomorrow
