When tempted to quit, I go to psalm 107. God does not change. He lifts the needy out of their afflictions. Also inspiring is a song was written by SideWalk Prophets. Some of the words are: Be strong in the Lord. Never give up hope. You've come to do great things, I already know. God's got his hand on you so dont live life in fear. Forgive and forget but dont forget why you're here. Take the time to pray, these are the words I would say.

My list is strikingly similar to yours. I have one other item that I'm sure you would echo:

11. Because I promised to love her, through sickness and health, rich or poor, good or bad, etc., etc. (I don't even recall the exact language), until God, by death, shall separate us. And I'm not willing to go on record as having broken that promise.

That one always comes to mind.

This post truly spoke to me. I have quite a few personal goals & dreams (God-given, I truly believe), yet almost daily – as of late – I have felt the temptation to just quit and let them fade away. Your words have been an encouragement to keep plugging away, keep learning, continue growing and never forget that God is my ultimate source when the "feelings" just aren't there.
