Jesus’s disciples found the emotional strength to carry out their incredible task by being in prayer continually.
Studying or “interacting with” the Bible through several different forms of media can truly bring the Bible to life and help us keep God’s Word in our hearts.
God created each of us to be original, with unique talents, personalities, backgrounds, strengths, and weaknesses.
Life is unquestionably a roller coaster reaching great heights and then sudden, dizzying falls. Without convictions to anchor and stabilize us, we can begin losing faith in God and become unsteady.

Why it's important that we maintain strong convictions rooted in the Bible, and what the fallout will be if we choose to neglect them.
Jesus had the resilience to continually going back to God in prayer to face his fears of dying. He did not give up but kept fighting with God to get the faith to move forward.
Use these scriptures on decision making to adopt God’s perspective of what’s important and what’s not.
Fearless people have tenacity, which is the ability to keep fighting for something, and to believe you can win.

In order to dig deep, we have to be willing to go through the process of discovering who we really are and what’s really in our hearts. We often like to stay superficial and avoid this process. Strain exposes who we really are. How do you handle the strain in your life? What comes out? How deeply rooted are you and able to handle the strain of life?
When Christians are not experiencing the personal joy and inspiration of Bible reading, then something will be missing in them as well as the community of believers with whom they fellowship. There will be a lack of energy, interest, faith, hope, and love.
